I ordered a new Comcast business account today.

The package included 2 phone lines,
internet access 16 mbps up 2 down,
static ip address,
Microsoft share point included,
outlook, web and mobile outlook.
Wired outer
web page and domain name included for $150 per month

This was the mid grade package

Are you sure it included sharepoint? That seems kinda odd. Are you going to use it?

Positive about the sharepoint. I think I will for my customers allowance sheets, contracts, draw schedules and pictures

Knowing the way Comcast lures residential service with a cheap price, then slowly slips in hidden fee's and upgrades...hopefully you got a good deal thats set at that rate for awhile.

2 years locked its now a commercial soho acount and taxes where less than my original residential account which was odd too me

Another thing...
Someone once posted a speed detection service on this forum, maybe a year ago.
I checked in at 100mbps, my computers internet connection displays 100 as my speed, yet I see a lot of mention of substantially lower speeds like the one you posted above...is that DSL?

Snow Man

comcast service is ranked near the bottom . most likely to fail next .

Verizon fios is tops. just my onion

Its not dsl it's comcastic. Comcast is similar but they always boast of higher speeds than dsl. I have residential comcast now and the speeds are spot on except for very large files. The business accounts don't have any upload/download restrictions like residential and that is noted on the contract I signed.

I have the speed detection software on my main computer so I will check it when it's switches over

We have the Comcast business internet, but we didn't get the phone lines. I am still going to stay with the old phone service that works when the power is out. Thats the one reason I won't switch to VOIP phone service yet.

They make these things called UPS's now. You should check them out.

Or have R&B's Remodeling remodel your house and office and install a back up generator to the building/residence for 12k

Speaking of which, I know you work in DC, so you might want to know this if you don't already. There are several manufacturers who make indoor generators sized for residential type loads. You just need to have the plumber run the exhaust pipe outdoors. That's good for cramped neighborhoods, where you don't have a spot for an outdoor genset. You might know about indoor generators already, since they're pretty popular in commercial work.

We do have a standby generator, a liquid cooled propane 45KW unit.

And for the last few years with the winter storms we have had, a big UPS unit would barely make it since the power has been out up to 3 to 7 days at a time.

And if everything goes wrong the phone may still work, but there was one time when that was no good too. Then at least the cell phone worked, the cell towers out here in the country have standby generators.

Did not know of them. Thanks for the heads up.

A manufacture or a link would put you high up in my book like say 50th or so

Ne'ermind...took that speed test and I'm 15000 & 2500..I'm gonna guess the 100 is a combined total my pc network reads as.

I'll guess having a dozen browser tabs and several programs running doesn't help either.
