| Base tier? Quote: "Given we can't see Comcast's internal numbers, it's hard to tell if more customers are dropping down to Comcast's base tier, or springing for Comcast's new 22Mbps/5Mbps tier and a new DOC 3.0 modem."
Why would customers drop down to Comcast's base tier of 768/384?

Why would customers drop down to Comcast's base tier of 768/384? I would consider it, at the right price point. I'm probably one of the few around here who is equally speed- and price-sensitive. In my area, I have a choice of 56k (with a good tailwind) dialup, satellite (with its attendant price/performance issues), or Comcast. Verizon is not going to bring FiOS to me anytime soon, and doesn't appear sufficiently motivated to extend DSL to my area. I suspect there are many other folks similarly situated.
768/384 at about $20/month would scratch my itch just fine given my Internet usage patterns. It wouldn't be that much of a performance hit from my current 6/1 that's currently provisioned at 4/384 (ref my posts on the Comcast help forums).

1 edit | I think the average for that tier is about $24 to $29. Not too tempting. |
