Price..

I'd estimate that a reasonable price for 22Mbps/5Mbps, initially, be between $70-$85/mo.

Initially..I paid $84.95/month when I had Blast, I would say the $100/month for 22/5 is reasonable for the speed and I would pay it since the only other competition in my area is 6/1 at&t dsl. Bring it on, I can't wait!

Was $84.95 without cable TV? I figure since Blast! (16/2) is $59.95 in most markets, then 22/5 would fit nicely in the $70-$85 range, as the 6/2 is $42.95. These prices are with cable TV..

Yes it was without cable tv, and no competition in my area like I said, that is the reason for the higher prices. I guess I should rephrase and say that $100 is reasonable in my market, $70-85 is reasonable for yours. Even with cable tv, in my area,the price was $67.95/month for 16/2 Blast

Anything is reasonable! My only alternative is 1.5/256 from AT&T.

Comcast isn't in any of Cablevisions footprints.

if prices are around $100 without cable tv thats really not appealing to people who can get 20/5 from Verizon for around 49.95-54.95.....for a whole 2mb more its really not worth the extra maybe 25-40 dollars more let alone the price for cable tv

this is a smart move. With incremental tiers, they can figure out how much people are willing to pay. They then can figure a truer deployment schedule (fiscally speaking) for DOCSIS 3.
Once they figure what it will cost them, they then can formulate the additional "DOCSIS 3 deployment recovery fee" for their customers!

They could if they wanted to, but they will rob you of every last penny you are willing to cough up, especially if there is no competition in a market.
