Ive got Comcast. 3 Mbps down and 256 Kbps up. Ive been trying to get something with a faster upload but havent been successful

EDIT: Forgot to mention its $42.95 a month. I pay $45 cause I am renting out a modem from them.

if you can get verizon do that because you get 1.5/384 which is being upgraded to 3/768 this fall and you get msn which comes with a full version of mcafee firewall and virus scan and they give you a modem and this is all about $30-35
i have this and i have no problems

just don't go for one that has a download limit...do you get that problem in the US? like over here in UK some providers only let you download so much a month.

Thanks for the info guys. I've narrowed it down the final 2.

1.) SBC Yahoo! DSL Pro Package
1.5 to 3.0 Mbps downstream/384 Kbps upstream
$36.99 per month
One-Year Term with FREE activation

2.) Comcast High-Speed Internet - Non-Cable Customer
3000 kbps downloads / 256 kbps uploads
$56.99 per month
$0 installation/activation

Do you guys know how much monthly bandwith these 2 companies give for their packages. Which ones would you choose?

$57 a month? Where'd you get that figure from. Im only paying $45 with a rented modem.

I'd go with Verizon if it is in your area. If not that SBC. No reason to pay more for less. A better upload is great for BT.
