August 20, 200421 yr My dad is changing from regular dsl to comcast cable and i wanna know what u think about it if u live in the miami area? im only getting 1900 D/L and 212 Upload so what improvements will i see. the guy said its 2 times faster than regular dsl. thanx.
August 20, 200421 yr Cable is alittle faster but it'll all depend on Comcast. Right now, I have RCN cable. My speed around 2000 kbs and uploading 700kbs. But I'm going DSL for better service and it's more stable plus I already have SBC phone and Dish.
August 20, 200421 yr Author yea im reading ppl were getting up to 270 upload and that is way better than my 212 so any improvement is better. also considering its only 22 bucks for the first 6 months and only 45 after.
August 20, 200421 yr Author If you have Comcast cable TV, then I think you should switch. 519051[/snapback] yea i got comcast cable tv. does it make a difference if i have the tv cable?
August 20, 200421 yr I have Comcast internet and Digital Cable. I'd recommend both. The internet is quick and efficient. No bad reviews for either.

August 20, 200421 yr We have Comcast Digital Cable and Bellsouth DSL. Because of our fiber optic connection, we get really fast speeds without having to pay for the DSL Extreme. Funny how I can get Comcast Cable but they said that the DSL was unavailable for my area.

August 20, 200421 yr For DSL, do you have to sign in or something like that? and one more question, my friend my told me that DSL will disconnect after a peroid of time.
