Price is a bit more but the quality of service is more what I was 
accustomed to with SpeakEasy. The ability to run servers and no 
bandwidth caps was vital for me. I put up with much slower service a 
long time until I was sure I could get servers on Comcast with them 
trying to run them with port blocking and caps. With BusClass, you get a 
pipe and a promise to keep that pipe open and running.

So far, I've been very happy.

Note, there are real technical issues that can prevent business class in 
some residential areas. The head end terminal servers must support the 
upstream load and some older ones don't. Those are being phased out as 
they also don't support DOCSIS3. So if you can get DOCSIS3, you can get 
business class.
