Ditto. I've had up to 150mbit from comcast in the past, and amazon only has 75mbit available in my area either term or no term.
HOWEVER, the one advantage is that the amazon cable store offers me no-tv packages cheaper than comcast does directly. Usually when I call in, they 'upsell' me into being a cable tv subscriber because they give me one step up in internet speed AND $5 cheaper/mo, all to inflate their subscriber numbers.
The TV they give me is 'basic' which used to be called 'lifeline' and is so worthless that I just have the cable box up in my attic; my antenna works far better. Though they do throw in HBO which means I can use HBO go to watch silicon valley/john oliver/etc.
