Instead, read this thread and contact one of the mods there directly.
Also, downloading large files. Backing up large files. Just having a better experience in general. 10 people are streaming in my house? I can still download something fast. I don't have to wait.
It lowkey bothers me when people say they don't need fast internet--I firmly believe you don't know what you need. There were plenty of people who said they don't need internet at all, or that 14.4 or 28.8 or 56k was fine back in the analog modem days. If we listened to these luddites we'd all be stuck with Australia speeds. Progress has been bad enough here, we should have fiber EVERYWHERE by now but the companies are pocketing the taxpayer money literally earmarked for infrastructure because of various loopholes. It's totally bullshit, but the only thing that will change their mind is demand and competition.
Also, due to network effects, the more people with faster internet, the better the experience is for everyone. People and companies won't innovate and provide new services if the capability isn't there, but once it's there, they will. Think high-bandwidth VR applications, cluster computing, extremely high quality streaming (you could even send raw frames), etc.
Push progress forward and get the fastest internet you can reasonably afford. If you're on a tight budget, I get it, I've been there.
But trust me, once you have it, it's hard to go back. It's like upgrading your monitor. Yeah, you can do everything just as well on a 19" monitor, but having a 27" monitor is just really nice. Same deal here.

Heck, I hear you do not even have to do that, just sign up using different email address. I know gmail, you can just use "." anywhere in your email address before "@" and it will just ignore that. For Yahoo, you can just create a new email address and use that.
Agreed. I "cancel" any yearly service the month the promo price is going to run out. By 15 days of my "cancel" date they sent me a mailer or email offering me the same deal for the next year.
1) my neighbors have FiOS but I am the rare bird that has Comcast. So there is fiber all over our street but it has never been actually connected to my house. Will there be an extra charge to bring the line from the corner to my house when I request connection?
2) is there an extra charge to configure my connection as an ONT only so I can use my own router assume I will be streaming over broadband w/no need for FiOS TV
2) No; in fact, if you order any speed over 100mb, they automatically do this (at least that's what one of their reps told me). If not, just tell the technician you want to use ethernet instead of MOCA.
I live in one of the largest cities in the US.
