Comcast Business Class, anyone use it?

Only options are Comcast and Centurylink. I want my internet speeds to be faster than the 90's so I will most likely go with Comcast. Problem is they want long contracts. I don't have issues with that normally but the ETF's are 75% of remaining contract(which is crazy high). I fear getting stuck with them and not having issues taken care of because they know we wont leave. Any advice is appreciated.

Pretty happy with Comcast. They recently doubled speeds here for free. I get about 50 down and 6 up.
My parents have century link and makes me want to kill myself every time I try to use their wifi. My phones way faster

I have the 25/4 connection at work as the backup to business FIOS
Works great, don't believe it's ever been down
But if you can get fios it's much better value
I'm paying the same for the 25/4 as the 75/35 on fios

Unfortunately no fios here. I know they are rated well. You use comcast as backup? I'm thinking of just a cellular backup, we have good LTE here.

Yeah it's mainly for backup
But I sometimes use it when I am downloading things, so I don't slow down the rest of the office if I download on the fios

I've got the 25/5 comcast business class service. I was one of the first in my area and had a few issues with it going down initially. But after the first couple issues it has been trouble free. Huge speed improvement over the previous connection which was a t1.

T1 for business is the same as 56K modem for home use
