How do you get those kinds of speeds with Comcast??

I live in Boston as well. What service provider do you use to get that speed?

Perhaps it has to do with the amount of money that's being invested in these late rounds. When you're doing 10k angel rounds, you spread the money around and hope one of the companies take off. When you're investing tens of m
