 "24/7 800 number -- made my web page avaiable seconds after requesting."
 "That I started with Comcast for more money."
 "I recommend them -- 3 dynamic IPs show they understand serious users."

I have the 300up/500down 3 Dynamic IPs $50.00 basic cable/cable modem package. Schedule just after Christmas 2002.
UPDATE: (6/15/08
=============================================================
I have an HD TV now but have not added any HD plans.
I have two digital DVR converters and 6000000/500000 service
I never seem to get the advertised download but I am still happy.
Around $112 now - that 2nd DVR is like $15 a month.
I use VoIP with VOIPo.com right now and it works great with WOW.
They can usually improve your contract if you call and ask nice;
especially if you want to add something!
=============================================================
Great value. Reliable. Using VOIP too, without problem.
The technician did come a little late, but they all have (Comcast never came the first time.)
Comcast and Ameritech was $150.00 a month.(no local toll, but add long distance.)
WOW and Vonage is around $77.00 a month.(500 minutes long distance and no local toll.)
Vonage has better coverage than Ameritech did too. (Bye-bye Canton phone number -- hello Livonia number.)
****** Recently [02/03], I decided it was worth upgrading my speed to 300dn/1500up. [200/1250 more real] Get WOW is works! $55 is a great price.

************************** new notes ********************
I'm still happy
Have dumped SBC Ameritech back in February.
Using WOW with »www.vonage.com VoIP phone successfully.
Blaster worm has WOW blocking port 69 TFTP which interferes
with service an could cause loss of dial tone if you change
settings though.
Had some loss of sync lately -- but overall satisfied.

I am using Ultra these days and a Digital tv package for just under $90.
I am now commiting my VoIP service over from Vonage to a new
remarkable company: »www.BroadVoxDirect.com using two
lines of their Telephone Adaptor (TA) to get two phone lines.
$19.95 each I get Unlimited calling all 50 States and Canada just like
I had with Vonage for more money (they got somewhat cheaper though)
I also get a free Virtual number. People between my two lines can call
local to the Livonia MI area, and the virtuals allow local calling to me in
Jacksonville FL, and Toronto ONT.
Some think Cable Internet is too unreliable for trusting your phones to
it. I just know I've had almost no down-time and save tons on my phone
bill. It is so cheap, I decided two unlimited phone lines are just plain
convenient. One of the things that makes it so reliable is WideOpenWest!
