comcast price check

Sat Feb 21 20:32:37 UTC 2009

Ok lets clarify.  Comcast recently started offering Ethernet (read fiber delivery) circuits.  Anyone know about stability and pricing on these.  Please exclude all the commentary on any Comcast services that are "cable" based.

I have a client that has a number of business AT&T DSL and Comcast
cable  circuits for small remote VPN sites.....AT&T is great, rarely
goes down....

Their Comcast circuits ALWAYS go down and are problems upstream per Comcast.

I 'm not sure how much they cost thought, sorry.
