I had Comcast several years ago.
At that time Excite was the Newsgroup provider.
Giganews is now the provider.
I went to DSL for about two and a half years because Comcast had become
undependable.
That lasted a few months.
My son has had comcast for two years now without any problems.
I just switched back last night.
Speed is much faster than when I left.also very noticeably faster than
verizon DSL.
I ordered from Circuitcity -- they have a real good deal that expires
tonight when they close ( 6PM locally) .
They advertise 2 GB from Giganews .
I got the following at the following address:
http://online.comcast.net/giganews/
Comcast High-Speed Internet service now includes free access to
newsgroups through Giganews' premium news service! Your free account
includes up to two gigabytes of downloads per month (headers are not counted
towards your 2 gigabytes). You'll have full access to discussion groups,
sound files, images, video files, and much more. In addition, this service
offers close to 50 days binary retention with a 99% completion rate. To
begin using your free newsgroups account, simply follow the steps outlined
in this FAQ to set up your news client.
Note the 2 gigabytes in the above paragraph.
Hope this helps.
