Comments on news posted 2008-10-14 12:05:16: Last week an insider told me that in addition to the $150, 50Mbps/5Mbps tier Comcast is deploying in DOCSIS 3.0 upgraded regions, the cable company is planning on unveiling a slower, 22Mbps/5Mbps tier as well. ..

So?

What is the monthly usage cap on this tier? Is it still 250GB ?

So...

If they bring D3 to here, and they bump up the 42.95, which is 6/1 to 12/2, what's going to happen to the 8/2?

Looks like it'll be bumped to 22/5. Too bad though...OOL goes faster for less on DOCSIS 2.0.

Sweet mother of all that is holy, that would be sweet. But since no competition other then Embarq, I don't know when D3 would even be put in place

In the same boat here...Qwest territory, and my area (Golden, CO) isn't on the short list of ADSL2+ upgrades. So 5 Mbit is the fastest we have.

What I'm wondering is what'll happen to the 4 Mbit "retention" speed tier...

Re: Hit your cap in only 26 hours

shoulda known we'd get whiners about caps, just use it the same as you do now, just cause speeds get faster doesn't mean you can download more, you just get your files faster, learn some control for a change!! Im sure caps will go up as the speeds get faster but for now 250GB should be plenty enough. Bring on the D3 to Chicagoland!!

Good luck with that one, Comcast!

I'm sure tons of people will be jumping ship from FiOS to those lovely 250 GB per month caps...

2.6 MB/s

Couldn't even imagine going from 680 kbps to 2.6 MB/s... Kinda a big jump for the 6 meg'ers out there...

So, what happens to the already 16/2 non-D3 service?

Re: 2.6 MB/s

22/5 is an upgrade from Blast or maybe the 8/2 service, not the 6/1 service. It'll still be faster, at 12 Mbps (1.5 MB/s) but not that much faster.

EXACTLY!
Since the 1500kbps days, my usage is still in the 30GB per month range - even though my speeds are(actual) 17.3mbps now.
The distance to the store is still 15 miles, no matter how fast your bike can go.
Moped/Busa - doesn't matter.

I believe it stays the same.
