[GRLUG] Testing Comcast vs AT&T

[Matthew Seeley]

This isn't strictly related, but I noticed that Comcast is now offering
105mb service in Grand Rapids. (Or at least, when I typed in my address into
their website, I was offered the following -->

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm *highly* skeptical of this
offering, since the last time I had comcast, they couldn't reliably send me
8mb down, much less 100+

Not that it matters, there's no way I can pay that price for internet. But
still very curious about it :)
