Cable modem side benefit (Score:2)

3) Chuck verizon and go with comcast cable modem service (I'm already a subscriber to their TV service) $35/mo, possibly less. Double the download speed, perhaps four times the upload speed. I would need to buy a modem and pay an initial fee.
I had Comcast when I lived in Maryland. One trick I did was to split the cable modem and run one line into my modem and the other into the TV tuner (I had an All-in-Wonder card), so I got double my pleasure. I dunno if this still works, but it might. :)

  Yes, you can split cable any number of times, though there is signal degredation and you may need an amplifier. That should not be a big deal for a single split, but jjohn is in an apartment. I doubt it would be a problem anyway, and amplifiers are fairly cheap regardless.
