Re: [Speed] 12/2 or 16/2..what is Comcast smoking? Seriously.. People were happy to pay an extra $10 for an extra 2MB of download speed. Now they pay the same for twice as much and suddenly it isn't good enough.
Personally, it looks like a reasonable price tier / performance tier to me. I'm happy with 6 / 1 and will be delighted with 12 / 2 when it comes to my area.

Many/most people were paying $10 extra for double the upload speed. Now they're paying $10 extra for... not much. Already downgraded from 16/2 to 12/2 here, couldn't be happier.

Comcast has been pretty decent about this. Doubling speed and not really increasing costs. As you point out, many will get the same speed but save a bit.
I'm a satisfied Comcast HSI customer.

That is all I wanted when I first started paying the $10 extra - back when it(upload) was 384k vs 256k.
When 6/1 gets kicked to 12/2, I'll be dropping back as well.
