I live on the east coast as well. Comcast here. What I've done is installed another internet line. I have 2 now. The comp I use for ebay is not on a network. The other line is on a network and router. For 50 dollars more a month it is so worth it, to me. I can change my IP whenever I need too without having to worry about knocking someone off line or interrupting an xbox game, etc.
