I have one through comcast and it rocks for the most part. They were slow to upgrade the actual modem when their older model became obsolete, but their customer service is decent, their prices are good, and their cable modems are fast as he!!.

I agree, stay away from comcast. They were much better when it was MediaOne. There rates suck, there service sucks, and there local phone service sucks too. Just try to get online in the middle of the day and you will see what I mean. I'm looking at Wide Open West right now and everything about it looks better.
