"Reliable, self-installable, greater availability than DSL"
"NONE!"
"CHSI still the less-painful alternative to ADSL/FiOS"

    I started with ComcastAtHome in 2000, and they have been my broadband ISP ever since. I currently have the 6000/384 package. I don't need the upload bandwidth (most home users don't), and, unless there's an outside-the-network problem, my pings have been VERY low (typically under 100 ms to game servers on GameSpy Arcade; in most cases, it's actually under 50).

    Since this review, I was crossgraded to Blast! (at no charge). The pings are still low, and the download speeds flat-out fly. This is a triple-boot system (Vista, openSuSE, Leopard) and all three run very well. CHSI remains the self-installable alternative to FiOS.

    Comcast HSI (upgrade to CHSI Game Invasion)

    I upgraded to CHSI Premier Plus (the former GameInvasion package) last year (8000/768k) with PowerBoost. Pings are still low to game servers; I also have priority access to IGN and GameSpy FilePlanet servers (and GameSpy Arena PunkBuster-enabled game servers). While service is still stellar, Verizon FIOS Internet and FIOS TV service is now available in the area (and both are cheaper than CHSI and cable-TV). If you feel that the priority access to the IGN and GameSpy services are not worth the additional money, FIOS is now a solid alternative to both CHSI and Comcast cable-TV, given their cost advantage.
