Thanks Burlington Telecom for finally relieving me of Comcast.

Service speeds approximately 6.7 times better¹ for only about 5% more per month? Yes, I’ll take it.  For certain activities (e.g., grabbing new email messages, downloading an already “lite” webpage) there isn’t much difference to notice; but for others (e.g., downloading a DMG of the new NetNewsWire, uploading photos to Flickr) there is a huge difference.

Relief!

1. …on the download; 13.3 times better on the upload.[↩]

Just a brief figure to illustrate Comcast’s on-going craptacularness:

So yeah. Even without getting into the specifics (i.e., price & download speeds) we can see the areas of discrepancy that might cause an educated consumer to be … well, rather alarmed.

Burlington Telecom: if you’re listening: hurry up with the wiring in my neighborhood.
