I found out today that I can get a 16 Mb/s download + 2 Mb/s upload service from Comcast that they’ve rolled out to compete with AT&T U-verse.

So despite the fact that AT&T U-verse doesn’t serve my block, I benefit from the competition between Comcast and AT&T in my general neck of the woods. I’d like to see a survey that captures this phenomenon.
