I got business class because I was afraid that I'd run up against some unpublished bandwidth caps, by doing ~1TB/month.
I have 75/20 comcast consumer broadband and regularly exceed 500GB per month and have seen no consequences. I don't see why it would be different for 1TB, I am already exceeding their "cap" every single month and they have yet to say anything.

Maybe it's because I'm in the suburbs and I don't share my Comcast connection with a giant apartment full of people but I've always had great service. I mostly get the speeds I'm promised and the reps and technicians I contact have been really nice and responsive.
I agree that comcast experiences can vary. I live in a small midwestern town, and I have never had an issue with comcast. My personal service has always delivered the promised speeds and been very reliable, and commercially, comcast is my most reliable and responsive carrier. Hands down, they have the best commercial NOC of anyone I deal with (I have 8 major carriers i have data circuits from).

They're great from that standpoint.

Does anyone have experience convincing a traditional ISP to deliver service to a currently "out of area" residence? The house in question used to be very rural, but now is literally two doors down (500 feet away) from one that gets Comcast service and across the street from a brand new subdivision.
From the business side, we had to pay $200ish to get an AERIAL run across a state highway. If you want it buried, they're going to charge you a lot. It's probably $2k just to get the horizontal boring machine out of the garage.
