I wish I had another option but Comcast is really the only option around me. What have others done to try to get on a respectable broadband connection?

One that condones blatant copyright violation? Not sure. Let us know if you find one.

Um it isn't blatant copyright violation. Are you just not informed of all the bandwidth shaping that Comcast does? Comcast tried to block many legit uses of broadband. Also falsely claiming unlimited data while limiting both total data and you data speeds to be less than advertised.

I can't even run bit torrent to legal files with out my connection dropping speed or failing to connect to the torrent entirely.

I also don't think my internet provider should be looking at my packets at all so they shouldn't be aware of copyright or not, I demand and get privacy in my real mail, why can't I expect it online. Open others mail is a felony, but sharing my packets with filters from the RIAA so they can accuse people?
