I've got drain pans and a couple of 55 gallon drums.

OK let me know I can stop and get some bolts if you need me too. Otherwise we could just set the box on there and strap it down so when you get the bolts that is all you would have to do.

Call them and tell comcast that and that you are thinking of changing. They will send someone out for free to test it. That is what they did and I needed a filter on the line because there was too much noise. Or you could test the speed yourself here How to Check Comcast Internet Speed | eHow.com.

The problem is that at 6 in the morning things are blazing fast like this
http://stage.results.speedtest.comca.../127304192.png

but later in the day when usage is way up site like FTE take forever to load. FTE is always the slowest other than Comcasts own site ironically. Even at work they are the worst.

We are actually paying for a slower service than we are getting most of the time so I don't want to rock the boat too much.
