If they bring D3 to here, and they bump up the 42.95, which is 6/1 to 12/2, what's going to happen to the 8/2? |

Golden, CO | Looks like it'll be bumped to 22/5. Too bad though...OOL goes faster for less on DOCSIS 2.0. |

Golden, CO | In the same boat here...Qwest territory, and my area (Golden, CO) isn't on the short list of ADSL2+ upgrades. So 5 Mbit is the fastest we have.
What I'm wondering is what'll happen to the 4 Mbit "retention" speed tier... |

I have hope that Qwest's recent advertising efforts (that 20 Mbps downstream service they apparently have going to a handful of houses here) will prompt Comcast to puch out DOCSIS 3 here in Colorado. Qwest is trying hard to undercut the Slowskys marketing even if all they can offer in most places is just the old plain Jane DSL.

no reason why comcast cant do these speeds on D2 if cablevision can.

Because OOL proves that you CAN use existing technology to push breakneck internet speeds over normal coax at decent prices, and that Comcast is a slow old juggarnaut lacking in innovation. Sure, OOL is a few thousand miles away, but so is FiOS, and I don't see anyone criticizing anyone else too much when they mention that tech. |

Around here FTP port is open on Comcast, which is cool. Not sure about HTTP though; I run my router webserver over 8081.
OOL Boost is $60-ish for uncapped (30+ Mbps) downloads and 5 Mbps uploads. Verynice. |

Qwest is up and running in Colorado Springs with their new service, hopefully that gives comcast a poke to do some upgrading with theirs. |
