Or use Comcast Business class and get good speed, static ips, no
bandwidth limits and no packet shaping. It's like $70/mo with a 1
year contract. Totally worth it.
Chris,
What up/down do you get for $70/mo? Last time I checked it out it
was $120/mo. and the download rate was way below the standard
residential. Glad to hear it's improved.

I have 16/2 which I pay $52.00/month for and another $20 for a /28 of
static IPs.
