The cap is a non-issue to most people including me. Its going to be really nice to have the doubled upstream for getting things up to my website. Everyone seems to perceive faster speeds the same as inflating your downloads or something. One of the only instances that I can see the speeds pushing you faster to your cap is P2P going faster and taking more bandwidth on the upstream... If that's the case, don't let them run all night now... |

Nice to know that Comcast is planning these speeds "somewhere". Withall this development going on you'd think that they would offer something a tad better than 6.0 with "Powerboost of "up to 12 MB/sec" The disclaimer (printer in faint very small font size) says it all.
High-Speed Internet service limited to a single outlet. Service subject to Comcast standard terms and conditions. Prices shown do not include equipment and installation charges, taxes, or franchise fees. Speed comparison between Comcast 6.0 Mbps service and 1.5 Mbps DSL (downloads only). PowerBoost provides bursts of download and upload speeds for the first 10 MB and 5 MB of a file, respectively. Many factors affect speed. Actual speeds vary and are not guaranteed.
WOW I would get less than a second of Powerboost if they could actually deliver even close and they call that a reason to switch??? |

I'm in one of the Chicago area markets. About 50 miles south of Chicago actually. I'm wondering when Chicago is upgraded, will we also see the improvement? I would love to get those speeds. However, I have a weird feeling, we'll be the last in the Chicago market to get the 3.0 upgrade. |

Awesome speeds at great prices. And, they seem to be moving with lightening speed in getting this rolled out across their territories now.
I really like the sound of the 22/5 tier. They're really hitting the sweet spot in terms of speeds and pricing.
It's also great to hear that the basic tier will double at no additional cost. Big changes coming our way.

Re: pfft...
perhaps the point might be better stated:
why bother with faster speeds when all it means is you hit the cap sooner?
having caps in place while touting faster speeds as a selling point is sort of contradictory. |

Re: Bring it on!
Hello fellow Naples dude!
I was wondering if Naples might be on Comcast's DC3 list -- for the past week, I have noticed repeated outages of my Internet service on several days between the midnight and 6 a.m. hours. As I understand it, those hours are when Comcast has been scheduling their upgrade work in the various launch markets.
I am keeping my fingers crossed, to be sure.

No Connecticut servers up there.
Doesn't look like it's anywhere near the 20% figure they claimed. |
