Do they offer an SLA on that? I've got a couple of broadcast sites that
could use a 21st century studio to transmitter link... Bandwidth wouldn't be
that spicy (just FM stereo here) but reliability is a must!! An at&t t1 is
even starting to drive us nuts by having seconds long dropouts in the
afternoons.

Got 10 GbE service from a data center in Santa Clara to a campus in 
San Mateo California from Comcast. Been pretty solid. Only blips have

can't complain.

It's L2. I see my BPDUs and LLDPDUs come through.

So, yeah, it exists.

Related, maybe:

Has anyone actually seen Comcast's "ethernet" service? This is 
advertised as a symmetrical, high-speed (100mb+?) business service not 
consumer stuff.

I called several times out of curiosity. Using the phone number for 
this service on their website got me switched around several times by 
people who seemed to barely know what I was talking about.

One wanted to engage me in a debate about why asymmetrical 20/7 
(whatever it was) isn't good enough I assume because that's all she 
was involved with so I muttered something about routing net blocks etc 
so she gave up and switched me again. Fine.

Then I'd finally get someone who seemed reasonable, seemed to know 
what I was asking about, took down my call back info and promised 
someone would get back to me within one business day.

Never got a callback. Tried this a few times, same result.

So, does it exist?

I suppose if sales won't call you back you have to wonder what support 
would be like.

P.S. Their website for this service invites you to enter your address 
to see if it's available and assures me it is, that's where you get 
the phone number to call sales.
