Comcast vs CenturyLink

[Zundfolge]

Support Comcast and you're supporting the anti gun movement and leftist politics in general with your dollars.

Comcast may be faster than CenturyLink on paper, but honestly the 12 m-bit DSL line I have at home and the 40 m-bit DSL line at work are both fast enough that I really don't think I'd need more speed.

At home I'm able to stream Netflix (or other streaming video) simultaneously to two Roku boxes while all while downloading or seeding a few torrents without any buffering on the streaming boxes.

Also note that if you plan on torrenting anything (even legitimate, non copyrighted content) you can get throttled by Comcast and probably get one of their nasty letters about the evils of piracy (6 strikes and they cut you off). CenturyLink doesn't monitor your traffic like that. And lets be honest, the only time that you're really going to notice the super speed of Comcast is if you transfer extremely large files ... like pirated movies (seriously, how many times a year are you going to download an entire Linux ISO or some other legitimate multi-GB files?) which they won't put up with.
