How much are you paying for it? And which service do you have? What are your needs?

Almost 89 dollars!!!! I only need internet and that's all I get from Comcast, but also channels 1-14 because they said it'd be cheaper than just internet. I guess I'm kind of a sucker though...

Yeah, they're giving you a bad deal. If you need good, fast, stable internet, and you're not too bitter to continue doing business with Comcast (I wouldn't blame you if you were), then ask Comcast about their business-class internet for your "home business" (don't worry, there's no legal issues here for lying, just say that you work from home part time, or you're a student, whatever).

Their bottom-tier business class internet is about $64 per month and blazingly fast. I regularly get over 20 Mbps over wifi, and I think I've peaked at about 40 or 50 via ethernet.

Brilliant! Thanks so much, I would feel so okay paying $65 compared to what's happening now.
