Fast upgrade

Didn't expect any upgrades so soon in WA.$62.95 "Ultra" 22Mbps/5Mbps Sounds very tempting.

Never going back

$62.95 "Ultra" 22Mbps/5Mbps
Yes well, I'll keep my 20/20 FiOS for $65/mo without caps, thank you very much

I wonder how much business Comcast has lost in Vz territories? They lost me after 1) several years of raising cable TV prices AND dropping channels and 2) adding a commercial client to our "node" which killed my rock solid, sustained 6mb/s download to an *average* of 4mb/s.

After three months of not being able to fix the lack of speed and FiOS becoming available, it was a no-brainer. The cancellation department didn't even *try* to keep me once I said FiOS was already installed.

I went from Comcast to FIOS as well. I like having a DVR that's a couple steps above the Comcast DVR. It's still no Tivo but it's the best non-Tivo I've used, the Comcast box was just horrible.

Comcast is going to a tiered bandwidth system I understand, I'm so glad I'm not using them anymore.

Big upload speed increase!

This morning I did several speed tests. I have Comcast's the 8mb down, 2mb up service. My upload speed was greater than 8Mbps, while my download speed was greater 19Mbps? Usually my upload speed is around 3Mbps. Is Comcast testing Docsis 3 or have they turned it on early? I have never had upload speeds like this.
