Brad:  Actually we do have HD, in the living room, but back here in my 
bedroom slash office I just have an SD set, and this is where my Myth 
setup is.  I dont share it with the roommate, he isnt interested in it.

HD quality out there on the Plasma is, in my opinion, perfectly fine. 
The roommate says some HD channels arnt as good as what they were on 
Comcast, but I honestly cant tell a difference.  Infact, the Food 
Network HD station is absolutely gorgeous.

We have the 6mbit internet package, and unlike Comcast, I *always* get 
6mbit.  When we had Comcast, in the evenings, we were lucky to get 2mbit 
down, even tho we had the 8mbit package.  It doesnt matter what time I 
run a speedtest, or download a large file, I am always getting full 
speed.  I certainly have NO complaints about the internet service.

The TV package we have is the U-200 package, and it includes everything 
that mattered to us on Comcast.  Plus quite a few things we didnt get.

Overall, I definitely give the service high marks.  We havnt had any 
outages with the TV or the internet which is definitely more than I 
could say about any given 2 month period with Comcast.  :)

If I could do it all over again, would I still switch?  Absolutely.
