DOCSIS 3.0

Wow.. that is a very fast roll out.. i guess they had it all setup, and just kept it on the down low...

I called comcast today, and the rep said the 2nd week of November for southern NJ, which is a big fios market. The tech said that within the next 6 months the Extreme tier will drop 30-50% in price. He said the Ultra Tier will replace the Blast! tier, and the Bandwidth Cap will be upgraded to 500gb+ and then eliminated. He said the only reason for the cap was so that they could more easily roll out DOCSIS 3.0 and initiate the new filtering systems.

Im getting my Blast! service installed on the 25th,
and will upgrade to Ultra as soon as it becomes available,which should be soon!

Anyone have any tips on how to get the most from your Blast! service? I see people with 35-50mbps on Blast! service. I am planning to put the eMTA right next to where the cable comes into my house, and run 75ft CAT6 to my PC's.

Good News!

HAHA Northern Jersey is getting something before you guys

Sweet stuff to hear though about the price drops and cap situation...hopefully that's true.

I thought South Jersey wasn't a large FiOS area, mainly Northern Jersey.

Comcast of NJ II sucks. Period.
25 HD channels compared to the average 32 or so.

Not as much as northern Jersey I think...where they've hit a lot of the big areas (except Edison and a large chunk of Woodbridge where I live).

I'm sorry but I highly doubt they would go through all this hoopla announcing a 250 gig cap then get rid of it a few months later...
