Important Information

Sorry for the double blog, but just got some important info from Comcast's new customer support staff.

"The 8 megabyte line is twice as fast as the 6 megabyte line."

"Speedboost makes your computer faster when downloading and uploading."

and, best of all:

Her: "The 8 megabyte line is $53 per month if you do not subscribe to any other services"

Me: "What's the upload speed?"

Her: "8 megabytes."

Me: "Hm, probably not. That's the download speed, do you see anything about upload speed."

*multiple clicking sounds*

New Girl: "Tier two technical service, this is -------, how can I help you?"

Me: "Could you tell me what the upload speed is on the 8 mb service tier?"

New Girl: "512K, but Speedboost makes it faster when you're uploading data or files."

Me, trying not to laugh: "So it's 512k when I'm not using it and faster when I am?"

New Girl: "Yes sir"

Me: "How much faster."

New Girl: "I dunno, just faster."
