RCN has varying levels of speed, 1.5Mbit, 5Mbit, & 10Mbit. Comcast has 6Mbit. Rcn 5Mbit is cheaper than Comcast 6Mbit, and 10Mbit is more expensive. You won't really notice a difference between 5 and 6 Mbit unless you are doing some crazy amount of downloading.
We pay $90 for 5Mbit internet, cable (channels 1-100), and DVR.
I used to pay $60 for 6Mbit, basic cable (channels 1-23), and no DVR.
RCN on-demand sucks, though. They used to have a large selection of free shows, movies, etc, but now pretty much the only free stuff is advertising. Comcast (which I don't have but have watched at friends' homes) has a great selection of free on-demand.
