They were charging $10 extra for that speed for a little while. I guess they gave up on that.

heh, t'would be funny if you were able to pay more money that they would report you had a higher speed...

I wonder if they still offer a higher tier at 5 or 6 Mbps or something.

I think I was perusing their site and saw that you could get 5mbit a while back...maybe it's up to 6 now... the down is fine for me - I would prefer having like 1.5up though...

Looks like everyone is a comcast teleworker now...was an $80 a month charge before...
However if you do that small business thing you can get 7Mbit down and 768Kbit up...Installation is $250 and then $160 a month - static ip = $30 a month...

It's the DNS servers. You can change them manually to other ones if it does that again. They seem to be fixed now though. Thank Rixler for the information...
