Not so slow for me @ 75(90)/15(18) in Cobb, but yes to expensive.

How "separate" do you think they meant?  I had both Residential 
TV/Internet and Business Internet coming into my home/office on the same 
coax for over a year, until I canceled the Residential service.  There 
are/were two dumb/passive coax splitters in the basement.  The first 
split TV and Internet to two locations (TV upstairs, Internet 
downstairs), and the second split the signal between the Comcast 
Business Gateway and my old Motorola SurfBoard SB6121.

That worked fine unless the power went out.  The SB wouldn't re-sync as 
long as the Biz GW was connected.  Just had to disconnect the Biz GW 
long enough for the SB to sync, then reconnect the Biz GW and all was 
well in the world.
