[RFI] Comcast/Xfinity X1 service

I personally don't care for Comcast internet service. You see, the problem with Comcast internet service is that the bandwidth is shared by all your surrounding neighbors that also use Comcast. Sure, it CAN be fast if no one else is on but you. But that 45 Mbps download speed that Gary (WA6FGI) alludes to (I'm positive he had a typo as he said 45 Gbps) is sure to be bottlenecked down when all your neighbors and neighborhood kids get home from school and start downloading videos and songs and podcasts. That's why I have DSL. I pay for MY bandwidth and do not share it with anyone except those that are on my network. I am paying for "up to 45 Mbps down and up to 6 mbps up." I always get in excess of 50 Mbps down and right at 6 up.
