Yup great speed but with their invisible cap & BitTorrent throttling I am sure they will be canceling peoples service due to over using and taking advantage of the new speeds. |

FiOS? Not happening!
Comcast was nice enough to hit me with Blast though. 
$150 is a bit too steep for my wallet for 50/5.

Wideband download, anemic upload. When are we going to see upload speeds that are significantly more than 10% of the download rate?! |

What's the point if the inferstructure can't handle it. |

Re: $150 per month?
Why? You're in a safe zone for Comcast. They'll be able to tinker with DOCSIS 3 speeds without much consequence for high prices and the inevitable kinks in a new system like this since they are really the only provider pushing higher speeds. |

Most of the pre-certification stuff out there only has the upload capability of the older version of DOCSIS, without channel bonding- I assume this is the same |

I've ordered the new package, I will have it installed on Sunday. New modem and an installation charge
also I asked about the current tiers they are being upgraded to 10 and 12 meg. No time frame on that though.

I'm game, even though I think the $150 price tag is a bit high. |

Re: woot
I bet the price won't be 150 in areas that have FiOS in their footprint. |

Re: Upgrade scheduled for 4/6
High Fives espaeth lol I agree I wish they'd just offer like 20 / 5 personally but maybe once it takes off. I'm just wondering why the Twin Cities first?
I really wonder if the Minneapolis WiFi had a lot of play? |

Re: woot
Not everywhere. Here the 30/15Mb FiOS is $140 and that's only with a fat contract. Month-month is $160. |

Re: but
With full DOCSIS 3 (which this isn't) they may not have to. The supposed reasoning behind BT throttling is seeders saturating the upstream channels and this new development doesn't fix that. DOCSIS 3 would take a lot of that pressure off. Maybe that is why the price point is so high. They could handle the very few who would buy it. |

Re: Upgrade scheduled for 4/6
Comcast is introducing the service first in the Twin Cities based on high computer use here, but will be adding it in other, undisclosed cities later this year.
