[Updated on February 2011]
Upgraded to the Extreme 50 package in january 2011.

The speed has been, well EXTREME!

I'm not a bandwidth hog, but with 50Mbps downstream and 10Mbps up, its hard not to.

From an average 15 - 30GB usage each month, I used 212GB in january.

The service has been rock solid, consistent speed thought day.

[OLDER REVEW]
This is the first time im on Cable. I've had DSL before and as good as DSL might be, when it comes to speed, cable just blows DSL out of the waters.

Comcast serviced cable internet is so far reliable and had been steady in terms of speed.

A regular speedtest always put me around 7600/900 considering the package speed guarantee is actually 6000/384

?

Why are you paying $99 for their internet when at regular price it's only $42ish with $5 for a modem?

Re: ?

it's a new speed package, 50Mbps/10Mbps.

The $42 package is 16Mbps/2Mbps.

Comcast Caps

212GB is getting closer and closer to that magical 250GB cap. I hope FiOS or u-Verse is in your area. You might have to go to them soon, and it may not be by choice.

Comcast's hypocrisy astounds me. If you're going to limit downloads and uploads to 250GB, then why even offer 50 MBps service? Isn't it just better on Comcast's end to keep the headend slow and not waste money investing on a service they don't really want to offer? People aren't paying the rate for Extreme 50 to just sit and browse web pages.
