Re: Oh, but I thought it would never happen?
Guess what!
I have Comcast 16meg service but there is no FiOS and no U-Verse - explain that!
------------------------------
We're Sorry
AT&T U-verse service is not available for this address or phone number as entered
------------------------------
Meanest thing here to "compete" with Comcast is AT&T DSL(*NOT* U-Verse) @ 6mbps.
My previous 8mbps Comcast was plenty to hose AT&T DSL.
Yet, here I am...

| Yeah and I am sure close by there is a fios deployment.
Look at the Mass fios map and all the fios cities can get the 16 meg pack , why can't I being 1 city over ? My head end is in a city with fios. If I snipe the tftp server I can grab the config for the tier though.
Comcast should roll it out in every area. I really can't stand this less then regional shit they heave. Same head end , one city has fios the other don't oh lets feed the one city a higher speed. Comcast in this area blows , they can't do anything right. Even cable tv here is flaky.

Yeah , a desolate landscape. Being so close to richmond , you don't benefit from competition from the nearest fiber providers.

Yeah, some people are in for a VERY rude awakening!
Comcast does not just sit on their ass and do nothing.
They have started lighting up all kinds of areas BEFORE any "competition" existed.
I had 6mbps before there was anything near 3mbps from any DSL provider.
I had 8mbps before there was 6mbps was available from any DSL provider.
Now, I have 16mbps(17.3 actual) and all there is as an alternative is AT&T DSL @ 6mbps.
Eat this Anti-Comcasters!

Yeah comcasts home market and there is fios near you.
Simple question, why can't any one not surrounded by fios or a faster competing service get these speeds ? Why can't some in say new hampshire get the speeds unless fios is in the area ?
This me too shit with maybe 8 exceptions is really not the point. Some times i think guys like dadkins and you just like to pat themselves on the back about beating a market by luck and location.

When I see it on a foot print bigger then spots of bubble gum stuck to a wall ill take it seriously. Other then small beauty marks these guys have not widely rolled out your speeds. Verizon has , at&t is just really a lost cause , 25 mbit and that is shared is just not going to cut it in the future.
I give comcast credit for these small bubbles , but the small foot print fios has , at least they offer tops speeds every where serviced.

Thats what I asked you ! Do you benefit from any company in Richmond ? Really man I am across the damn country I don't know your landscape.
Thats why I gave you the link.
You got lucky , maybe they felt bad for abusing the bay area for so long and gave you guys a decent upgrade.

Look friend, you are wrong - deal with it!
There is no competition for Comcasts 8mbps service here and there is NO FiOs in the Bay Area.
AT&T sucks ass.
There is no AT&T U-Verse here either!
So, as soon as you deal with the fact that there are many of us getting 16mbps from Comcast WITHOUT any competition, we will be better for it.
I'm truly sorry that you cannot get it - yet.
Not my fault though!
*I* do have it!
Get over it!

Need to work on your posting skills.
I know whats here, didn't need your link!
I tried to tell you, but you didn't listen.
Nearest fiber providers are Paxio(new home developments only) and SureWest(Sacramento area)
There is no fiber here other than what Comcast laid 3 1/2 years ago.
I have Blast.
There is no competition for Comcast 8mbps service, yet they hit me(and a few other cities here in the Bay Area) with 16mbps.
Maybe they will hit you soon.
Since you are in MA, maybe you should stop posting like you know what's up here! Right?

Ok so comcast gives you a bubble gum shaped pocket of speed and they are great. One or 2 areas define a whole business map.
I know comcast and I know how they are , they only do this where they feel the need to compete. So there has to be a reason , maybe your blessed enough to be a test market.

Now your confusing posts. Learn to separate.
You have a small area where Comcast is rolling this out. Because you are the small handful of exceptions doesn't mean you are right.
When Comcast lets the tier loose on the whole market they have then I will be amazed until then , and only then you and the few who have it are an exception. Feel lucky , you were also one of the few who got "permaboost".

Then like I said your the exception. Every one else is only seeing these speeds where there is competition from other providers.

No, major parts of the Bay Area are getting Blast.
The rest will be getting it soon as well.

Pretty big piece of gum, huh?
While AT&T may be in a few places here in The Bay Area, it is *NOT* here in Hercules. Period!
Lose the Comcast hate... it's sad.
