[mythtv-users] Comcast vs. FIOS, ease of mythtv integration?

[Justin Kim]

Comcast business class is considerably cheaper now, at least where I live.

I pay about $75.00/month for a business class connection with one 
static IP in New Jersey.  No ports are blocked and I'm allowed to run 
whatever services I want.

The service has been very reliable so far.  No complaints.
