| Modem Rental only for DOCSIS 3?
I'm not in a Comcast area, but if I'm reading this correctly, it looks like the DOCSIS 3.0 tiers require a $3 rental fee for the DOCSIS 3.0 modem? This must be because of the limited supply?

Re: Modem Rental only for DOCSIS 3?
Currently you cannot purchase the modems. Comcast must provide the modems for you, thus rental fees. |

I'm in Danbury Connecticut, and we don't seem to have the new speeds yet. Maybe it'll arrive over the next few days.
Comcast is doing a great job at providing great internet capability to its customers. I'm glad to have moved to Comcast HSI from AT&T DSL a few months ago.

| AT&T....Better Work on FTTH
With Comcast's new speeds, they are putting AT$T further behind in the caves...
1.5Mb DSL is just plain pathetic. They might be able to sell it to grandpas, but for the high school/college kids and young professionals, anything less thna 6Mb is pure shit. |

I agree. I've been with AT&T for almost a year and thier speed is extremely low compared to comcast. I registered for the 6 speed elite service and i get about 4M down on speedtest.net.
Even though I have AT&T as my ISP right now, i called comcast and i was offered the BLAST service for 64.95. I couldn't get it lowered (price) because I am stuck with At&t for 1 year! (Contract). The tech is scheduled to comeout this week and install Blast. When Docsis 3.0 is rolled out down here (houston) im definately going to get the 22\5 tier.
Thanks |

1 edit | I hope this forces FIOS to increase their speeds again. I would love for my 50/20 tier(for $90 a month) to get bumped higher when Comcast launches this in the DC area. |

Re: AT&T....Better Work on FTTH
FiOS might lower pricing, but their speeds are still generally better than Comcasts. They could up their 20 Mbps tiers to 30 Mbps though, and the 10 Mbps tier to 15. 50 Mbps down with 20 Mbps up beats 50/10 cable any day of the week, especially if it's 90 bucks. If such a service was offered in my area, I'd pay for it  |

| It is going to happen. I'm not too worried about it. Comcast is probably rolling this out carefully. I'm very impressed that so few seem to report problems with the switch to D3.

Re: where can i see what is available?
I was looking more for a list of options. Performance, Perf. Plus, Blast... all listed out, with their speeds and prices. I cannot find this anywhere (to see what is available in my area). Thanks for the link though, I did request to be notified. |
