Comcast Reviewer's Comments

If you're feeling the need for speed, jump on board Comcast, our "TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award Winner." Comcast is fast enough to watch video, can stream music and supports wireless networking in your home or office. You can also get up to seven email accounts, share photos and access a long list of freebies and online content. Included in the $33.00 per month price are Digital Cable and Digital Voice.

Cable connections set the standard for speed and Comcast is one of the best.

Feature Set:  

While Comcast only offers cable connections, they do a wonderful job providing perks that many ISPs don't offer. This family-oriented service includes seven email accounts, parental controls, a firewall and web filtering. They offer home networking so the entire family can be connected. And one of our favorite features is wireless; you can take your laptop anywhere within 150 feet of your cable outlet, even to the hammock in the backyard, and still enjoy the Internet.

Many other features Comcast includes aren't necessary but let you take advantage of the full potential of the Internet. These features include: click-and-play news clips, music videos, movie previews, games, a photo center and video mail. Video mail allows you to send video messages to anyone with an email account.

Comcast provides online space so customers can store and access files from any computer connected to the Internet. You can also build a personal homepage for no extra cost.

Service Area:  

Comcast offers nationwide service, but you must have a cable to your home in order to access Comcast. Check to see if service is available in your immediate area on Comcast's website.

Connection Speed:  

Comcast offers a broadband cable connection that is super-fast compared to dial-ups; even those who use accelerators are still not in the same ballpark. When it comes to download and upload speeds, cable connections are the bar that others are striving to reach.

Customer Service/Support:  

Comcast provides several options to address service and installation questions. They offer a FAQs page, user manuals and toll free phone support.

Summary:  

Comcast offers blazing speed with several security features and tons of fun features. Though Comcast is a nationwide company, service is not available on every street in America. If cable is available in your area, Comcast is one of the best services you can get.
