I had the basic internet speed of 12MB download, and 2MB upload for $19.99. I managed to get twice as fast speed, as I told them that I wasn't happy with my internet performance, for $19.99 and $10 for PowerBoost. So now I have 22MB/3MB and with PowerBoost is around 36-38MB/3MB. I need it to get the new modem that is capable of handling the High Speeds, but she hooked me up with a free rental.
Also, the Playoffs are here and I needed to watch my Lakers, so I upgraded my cable too. Got the Digital Starter (over 100 and some channels) for $29.99 and the HD box that you are talking about with no rental fee for 6mo.
The bad thing about Comcast is: the best HD signal they have is only 1080i, even though your TV is capable of showing 1080p Resolution. Direct TV has that signal but there prices are not as good and negotiable as Comcast's.
i'll def let you know

I'll be talking with them soon...
Part of my problem is I've been with them for a few years now and they only like to give special deals to new customers. I had 3 months half price when I started with them and that was all. Also my modem is old and probably part of the speed issues, sometimes needs to be power cycled to get it working again. And it doesn't help that I have internet only. So I pay just under $60 a month and very rarely get speeds over 500k (4Mbps).
I'll speed check it again, it can be higher sometimes. But I don't usually see high speeds from individual sites, it has to be combined bandwith of multiple downloads from different sites.

It was amazing how much rust dust my OE rotors were producing. I thought it was the pads this entire time. It has been 1.5 weeks since I washed the car and normally the wheels would really need to be cleaned. Today hardly any dust on them.

Hey, my man... I'm glad to see that your rotors are doin' good and there is no problems. I do think that the less rust you get when you wash the car the less dust you will get, I try to cover my rotors with plastic while washing the rims...
Anything going on soon?????
