Comcast offers a premium service level which will get you higher priority and more bandwidth, but it isn't cheap. What they offer will depend on you address, so I can't guess as to what they might have at your home.

If it is at all possible, FIOS is the fastest home internet connection you can get... but not everyone can get it. Where I am, I can't get FIOS, but people 1/4 mile down the road can - my bet is that some people in your region can get it and others cant.

Lastly, if you want a more consistent 'net connection moreso than speed, and don't mind paying for it, look up a high speed DSL connection. Note that the high speed ADSL connections offer relatively poor upload speed - it's more than enough for games, the download speed is as good as cable, but you really, really pay for it. It tends to cost $150/month:

They have a section on their site where you can plug in your address to see what is available to you.
Sorry I can't give precise recommendations, but in the world of broadband, you're very affected by exactly where you live.

What is the best high speed internet in the bay area?
I am new to the area and have been using Com-cast, but I am extremely frustrated with the speeds I get on this provider. Some people told me that this happens because you kinda "share" the bandwidth with the neighborhood and, therefore, they cannot guarantee the bandwidth you paid for. Is there anyone else on the same price range that offer quality high-speed internet? The purpose is to use this for games (Xbox Live), Netflix streaming, etc.
