The plans listed on that page are: Storage / Transfer / Price 10MB / 100MB / Free 300GB / Unlimited / $20 400GB / Unlimited / $40 500GB / Unlimited / $80 You must realize that these are absolutely NOT true commercial offerings. They don't even list what your commit bandwidth is! Also you can't run your own applications there! Do you really think Netflix runs off of a shared server like this? They're a HUGE AWS customer running many thousands of VMs. How do you access control things, how do you deploy your code, how do you do basically ANYTHING with this offering from Comcast? I suspect that you don't. Here are some legitimate commercial offerings: http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated If you notice, they have a page dedicated to their network. What familiar names do we find on this page? Cogent and Level3! http://www.hostgator.com/network http://www.hostgator.com/network Notice that there is no mention ANYWHERE of ANY COMPANY that might even a LITTLE BIT be considered a consumer ISP. Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Cox, etc, none of them are mentioned.

From the page: >We utilize a wide array of network carriers including Level 3, nLayer, Comcast, Cogent Communications, and Hurricane Electric. Take that back?

  You've got me dead to rights on that one, of course, so I have no problems taking it back. I'm not going to change the above comment where I misspoke because I did write that, and I did think it was correct at the time. I think it is telling, however, that Comcast's logo isn't anywhere on the bottom of the page with all their partner logos. And I think it is also telling that it's only Comcast and not all the consumer ISPs.
