My company has about 2 dozen Comcast business cable accounts at satellite o=
ffices around the Midwest. We are looking at adding an additional ISP to th=
e mix and we are thinking of purchasing an Ethernet circuit from Comcast in=
 an attempt to increase performance on those connections by keeping all the=
 traffic within Comcast's network.  Comcast, of course, has assured us this=
 will result in "noticeable" speed increases for those accounts. I am more =
weary. Does anyone have any experience with Comcast's ethernet offerings? H=
ow reliable are they? Do Comcast cable connections see a significant perfor=
mance improvement?
