<FONT COLOR="#1F497D">We have been using Comcast business for about a year and a half. With the exception of one outage that lasted 5 days (did you know there are Comcast offices in Chicago and Denver… we do now)<BR>
<BR>
We pay $128 per month for 2 modems each are 15/5 Meg and expanded basic TV service.<BR>
<BR>
We load balance between the two modems with our firewalls.<BR>
<BR>
I would suggest keeping another circuit from another provider as backup… we have a T1 that we use for voice that we use as our backup.<BR>
<BR>
Comcast will be offering their Wideband soon in our area and can be in flavors of 50,75,125 mb down<BR>
<BR>
Another option if available is Verizon Fios ( Andrew in DC is using it)<BR>

It looks like we might be finally looking at getting rid of our DSL’s. Any suggestions for bandwidth providers out there? <BR>
<BR>
We are researching opening our first (from this building) remote venue and would like to have something that can give us a 5 MB upload while possibly avoiding the big name, big bucks guys.<BR>
<BR>
Any suggestions appreciated.<BR>
