| Where exactly does at&t look good? At least where they have cable or LTE as competitors? |

| No caps increase though... When I checked the TOS/AUP for Rhode Island which showed Ultimate as a 100Mb tier (110Mb with boost), the Ultimate cap is still 400GB. In my market, Orange County caps don't appear to be enforced. I blow through my monthly caps routinely and hopefully it will stay that way.
What is Verizon's current price for 150Mb FiOS? If it is more than a hundskie, I wonder if they'll drop the price, or bump their tier in response. |

Re: Where exactly does at&t look good? Time for Time Warner Cable to up their speeds! I'm paying $100/month for 50 down 5 up. Why not for the same price get 150/50! |

Re: No caps increase though... Hard to beat FIOS prices. I have the triple play with 150/65 and digital voice.  |

Glen Head, NY | Preferred Wow, I remember the days when Optimum Online was the gold standard of Internet service. I am now paying $54.95 a month for 15/2 service (well the download is basically 20 but not advertised as such) and Cox is now offering 25/5 for $56?!?! At least we do not have usage caps (yet) and the Optimum WiFi service has good penetration.
It would be nice if OOL at least tried to keep their leadership position.

| Breaking point I wonder where the breaking point of all the access to bandwidth is?
With all the increases and very little transport upgrades between cities and towns built.
I know all the costs to access fiber optics are going down but somewhere somehow
there has to be a realization more cross country lines will be needed.
The consumer will eventually have to pay more to have the bandwidth so operators
can bury new fiber.
Internet service providers cannot keep giving away low cost access for ever. |

| Google fiber the reason? Huge speed upgrades, 3X downstream, 10X upstream for ultimate...in phoenix the only competition is Qwest which is crappy DSL and nowhere near these speeds. I think it really shows the influence of google fiber. Just like when email accounts has 10 megs of storage then gmail came along with 1 gig of storage everyone else had to match. Even though google fiber isn't a direct competitor most markets, I think it has somehow made other providers 15mb (or whatever) download speeds some puny compared with 1gbps google offers and feel they have to catch up, at least a little. I don't see why else this could be. It's not like QWEST is providing any incentive |

@cox.net | Cox sucks in Louisiana Horrible customer service reps, rude and incompetent field techs, shoddy service, no competition, the list goes on. How many years will go by before NOLA sees these speeds? |

Re: Google fiber the reason? I thought Qwest went and now operated by CenturyLink. CenturyLink will eventually sell out or close due to massive Plain Ol Telephone service losses. |

Re: Breaking point they can and will keep providing access at a reasonable cost.. the average customer isn't gonna spend more that 150 on cable/internet combined.. and for the bandwidth issue they dont have to bury new fiber just gotta upgrade the equipment on each end of it.. that's the great part about fiber u dont have to replace it. |

Re: Google fiber the reason? Cable companies have had the capability for a while to give much higher speeds with Docsis 3.0. Whatever motivates them to raise speeds is ok with me. |

Re: Breaking point Huh? Low cost?
You realize that there is a TON of unused fiber in the ground that was put there over a decade by companies such as WilTel ( who now do not exist but their assets were sold to others). There's no need for more cross country lines, there's a need for much more last mile fiber lines. |

| 6 strikes cant wait for all this speed to be never used and cause these isps massive layoffs. |
