Drew, sorry for the late response. Did you ever get set up? I'm not sure if I have much more to offer in terms of direction. I manage a connection, but do not get great speeds most of the time. Particularly at what I think are "peak" hours, the connection crawls down to almost being nonexistent.

It could be that the network is not able to keep up with demand in the area overall, or it could be that there is something wrong with my settings, but have no way of knowing. My experience is that there is not a lot of information sharing regarding the project. (Or I haven't found it.)

Forget streaming video or audio, I generally only use the network for kind of passive downloading files. Individual web pages often take a long time to load, or fail to the point of frustration. For anything work related, I go to the library, or tether a smart phone when I have that option.

I recently received a wifi security camera that I might install/try out relatively soon, which I'm guessing will necessitate going back to Comcast. I'd love to learn more about these networks and do whatever I could to help improve them, but it's beyond me at this point.
