Here are my initial thoughts after comparing the ease of finding prices on Comcast.com vs. Broadweave.com:

Comcast.com	Broadweave.com
ease of finding standard prices(prices before any discounts!): pretty darn frustrating — all they’ll tell me is what the promotional price is and not what it gets increased to after 6 months or 12 months!!!	ease of finding standard prices(prices before any discounts!): it takes 3 clicks to get to their Standard Offerings price list. These are their regular prices BEFORE discounts. No gimmicks! And they don’t require me to enter my personal information before showing me the prices like Comcast hassles me to do.
Internet only; up to 16 mbps download speed = $74.99 — NOTE, i couldn’t find this price on their website, i had to contact one of their employees to get it — it took me about 15 minutes waiting before i got through to someone that would give me a straight answer on it — they first wanted to tell me the promotional price.	Internet only; up to 15 mbps download speed = $44.99*
Dedicated line from home to the “head-end”? NO, only partway, can you say “bogus!” when everybody in your neighborhood uses Comcast at the same time in the evenings!!	*Dedicated line from home to the “head-end”? YES! This means that Broadweave’s 15 is definitely faster than Comcast’s 16!  A very important distinction! So you get faster Internet than Comcast for about $30 less! Awesome! Sign me up yo!

Check back later for more comparison/contrasts. Some of the contrasts are very striking. Fiber optics is the way to go!
Give me a call at 801-356-1032 if you have any questions.

NOTE: I am not a direct employee of Broadweave. I am one of their direct sales contractors. I am also a consumer advocate and have been involved in some local whistle blower situations that you
can search web/newspaper archives for. In other words, I don’t tolerate anything less than the full truth — I cut through the nonsense gimmicky kind of stuff that too many corporate sales people do and give you the bottom line up front. I can give you an estimate of the all little municipal, state, and federal taxes that get added to your bill too.
Feel free to ask me a question here too.
Thanks!

UPDATE: Feb 5, 2010

I no longer work for Broadweave since the merger with Veracity but I still believe they are the best in town. Most of the people in my neighborhood (South Provost, Deer Haven) have Comcast and since it’s shared amongst the neighborhood then sometimes it really drags.   My current landlord wants to stay with Comcast though because he gets a military discount that is pretty sweet.  Can’t wait to move to a place that has Veracity Networks!
