RE: Experiences with Comcast Ethernet
With the way their peering is these days, that probably would result in a huge improvement; we have complaints all over the northeast from comcast users who are getting poor connectivity to websites we host as a result of the overloaded Comcast->Level3 links and nothing we can do about it even though we both share a non-Level3 provider since Comcast wants the traffic to head out the bad links.

My company has about 2 dozen Comcast business cable accounts at satellite offices around the Midwest. We are looking at adding an additional ISP to the 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? How reliable are they? Do Comcast cable connections see a significant performance improvement?

That is what we see too. Our connections are used 24/7 and we need lots of download speed so the price/performance is great. Except between 9pm and 1am when the links are saturated.
