Goldstein has bitten the bullet and significantly upgraded his Internet service.
Should take about a week for the installation.
I just signed-up for Comcast's business-class Internet service.
Contracted for the 50-Mbps download/10-Mbps upload with unlimited data allowance package.
Hopefully, this solves all my downloading porn needs for the foreseeable future

I'd congratulate you but I loathe the cable companies.
But I'm happy for you if it works out.

Why do you emphasize unlimited data? Isn't that standard (except for wireless and satellite-based providers)?

No, unlimited data is NOT standard with Comcast residential accounts.
Our residential account has a 250GB/month cap, which is "currently suspended."
However, now that I have actually been using the bandwidth, and, routinely exceeding the "cap," Comcast has started placing advisory notes on our account about it.
Not to mention the throttling that occurs on a regular basis.
And, the phoney residential speed claims (e.g. our 25-Mbps residential account, which will "test" at that with Comcast's speed test, actually only delivers about 3.4-Mbps in a sustained download of a large video file). In fact, depending on the time of day, I can't even achieve 1-Mbps download speeds for hours at a time.
Now that I have jumped into downloading online porn (e.g. Brazzers, BangBros, RealityKings, Babes, MOFOS, etc.), the residential limitations, especially the poor service, has become a major pain-in-the-ass.
As far as speed goes, Comcast assures me that business-class Internet actually delivers the speed you pay for, vs. residential which is not guaranteed and is quoted as an "up to" figure.
Many of the video files I'm now downloading are three to four GB each, so I had to do something.

I'll hope you'll update us on how it is after the honeymoon period has ended.

Honeymoon hasn't even started yet, as I'm still waiting for the installation
Given Comcast, however, I'm sure it will still be some variation on "I promise not to cum in your mouth."

You can then tell Comcast that "the cheque is in the mail"!

The honeymoon period is over.
I've spit the cum out of my mouth and gargled with Listerene.
Comcast is absolutely the most incompetent and infuriating company in the world!
After the installation, the Internet service worked fine -- except for the fact that somewhere between signing the contract and the installation, someone decided that my account was for TV service, instead of the 50/10 "Business Class" Internet only service I contracted for.
During installation, the installer discovered that the cable from the cable mushroom to the house was bad. Not dead, but compromised and causing lots of electronic "noise" in the line. He replaced it with the proper really thick (about 1/2" diameter) underground cable (as opposed to the old RG-6/U, which was over 20-years old and being improperly used for the length-of-run to the house). Needless to say, our existing residential Internet service and TVs improved dramatically.
Funny how previous "repairmen" could never figure this out
The first business-class modem he tried to install was defective.
It was obviously used, being scraped-up and a dent with a chip missing on the front panel.
Comcast clearly just wrapped-up a returned modem in shrink-wrap with an AC adapter and Cat5 cable without ever checking it out.
The second modem worked.
The real problems were due to the idiot(s) that coded my account for TV service, instead of the 50/10 Internet only service I contracted for.
As a result, I was NEVER able to configure my Internet account -- so that I could use any of the "Business Class" services!
I spent two-three hours on the phone dealing with three separate Comcast idiots, who never corrected the problem.
So, after waiting almost three weeks, and my account still never corrected, I decided to take advantage of the "30-day guarantee" to cancel service (i.e. more importantly, to also cancel the two-year contract I had signed without penalty).
So, I returned the modem to the local Comcast office -- waiting 1-1/2 hours in line for my turn -- and cancelled the account.
The 50/10 "Business Class" Internet would test (speedtest.comcast.net) with higher speeds than the residential service, actually achieving the 50/10 claim, but, in actual download of video files it wasn't any faster than the residential service.
The only real difference seemed to be the ability to have more simultaneous downloads while maintaining decent download speeds. However, there were many instances where a single download would ramp-down to 400-500 Kbps, even though I'm paying for 50 Mbps.
I had the impression that, even with "Business Class" service, Comcast was still throttling download speeds -- even though "Business Class" Internet includes "unlimited data."
Conclusion:
Our residential Internet service now works properly (due, I'm sure, to the new cable to the house).
I will learn to operate within the 250GB/month cap, but may gobble-up much more than that until Comcast decides to enforce the cap (which is "currently suspended").
I fucking hate Comcast!

Sorry to hear that.
And what will happen, someday, is that another company will compete, people will flock to it, and Comcast will complain that the competition is unfair. It'll never be their own fault for providing shitty service. It'll always be due to unfair advantages the competitors exploit.
