By Dawn Amerson

Getting access to the best high speed Internet service can be a truly exhilarating experience! After all, there's a ton of things to do on the Internet and lots of great people to meet through exotic online forums, social networking sites, and even virtual reality! One thing that you might find surprising though is that you can do all of these things through Comcast!

Even though Comcast made its reputation as a cable TV company, it also happens to provide great high speed Internet service! This is actually no accident. Basically, TV programming- especially when it's in digital TV format- is just data, which means that it's really not that much different from the computer data that flows to and from the Internet. The fact that data can flow in both directions over a cable means that the same cable that brings TV into your home is also perfectly capable of bringing Internet data into your home. The fact that the data can move extremely quickly in both directions makes it an excellent way to connect to the Internet! In fact, with speeds that beat satellite, beat DSL, and beat many other broad band cable high speed Internet service providers, Comcast's great service is the best way to get online!

The huge amount of bandwidth that Comcast can provide for you is the perfect way to access all kinds of great kinds of online entertainment such as streaming video, streaming audio, video and audio downloads, and virtual reality. Plus, the ability to collaborate with other people in real time and the option of downloading productivity software, mean that you can get some serious work done with this kind of Internet connection! In addition, Comcast can give you the anti-virus software, the parental control software, and the firewall that you need to keep your computers and family as safe as possible from the more unsavory parts of the Internet!

Naturally, the fact that Comcast is the country's foremost provider of high speed Internet service doesn't make it any less of a TV service provider. In fact, with recent digital upgrades it's also been able to maintain its status as the country's foremost provider of digital cable TV service as well! Digital technology has given this company a huge advantage over the competition. This advantage includes rolling out a huge number of great channels so that it's now possible to subscribe to a programming package with nearly three hundred great channels! It also includes great features that can help you manage your TV viewing. These features include a interactive on screen program guide, parental controls, a DVR, and video on demand through Comcast's ON DEMAND feature! The DVR will be of particular interest to anyone who has been frustrated by an inability to watch what they want because what they want to watch comes on at an inconvenient time. The DVR provides an easily programmable way of recording TV shows no matter what else you have to do when they come on! HDTV is another great feature that Comcast can provide access to through its numerous HDTV channels!
