I know this sounds cheap, but we were using them to push to a streaming server for a live stream for a TV station for a few months as a backup until our T-1's could be installed. Their service was getting so spotty in our area a few weeks ago, and we had to bite the bullet and get T-1 lines for most of critical net needs. At one point a speed test showed we well over 768k for an upload spead, but it keep bottlenecking just pushing a 300k stream. Crashing our encoder. Comcast no longer has an issue with our stream, but they have been relegated to backup Critical Data traffic, and we use or T-1's for things like Clipmail, Streaming, and ENG. We also use it for regular traffic (email/web surfing, because they can burst to 12Mbps and we do not want to overload the T-1s. I should have known something was up.

Big ISP's want to have full control over which sites they'll let you visit (or at least visit with any descent speed).
