But it's comcast (I had comcast in MD in DC Metro). So having that speed doesn't mean your service will actually will work. Dealt with them at home and as a business. Awful. Just awful.

Hah, I don't have it yet so I don't know :) currently, I get 100 down. So is your advice to steer clear of 1000 down and just go with a standard cable/tv plan then since that's all I'll get anyways? I was hoping to forego the TV plan and just use netflix/crunchyroll/etc for the same price and 900 more down. :(

Yeah exactly - comcast will let you speedtest at that speed, but do you get that speed off Netflix?

These guys are just a small business trying to deliver a high quality network.
