My hometown which is near Little Rock and has a larger pop. than Hilo has an small independent cable company and their speed offerings are pitiful. Almost the entire state is like that so it is misleading to post that when it only a small portion of the pop of the state can get any broadband and of those who can just one area can get a major provider (Comcast).

Comcast sucks much worse than Time Warner. You go to their website and it appears that they offer service in all these towns but they don't. They are the most deceptive of all the broadband providers.

Read the thread , I just read first 8 posts , they are all in competing lands. Look at the states its offered , all competition. Get over it dude , comcast isn't offering this on the goodness of their heart , they are doing it to compete.

You go cheer on comcast in those threads. I'll stay and actually realize that comcast as well as the telcos don't raise speeds where there is no competition. I am not a follower of that line of bullshit.

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".

There is no fiber here other than what Comcast laid 3 1/2 years ago.

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.

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.

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.
