1 edit | 22/5 Makes sense If your able to get a D3 modem is allows for greater powerboost and more consistant speeds (if it bonds 2+ channels)
as some in the comcast\d3 thread have shown in speed tests some people on 22/5 get powerboosted to 60 or more
so 50/10 might sound great but at double the price its not worth it
now hurry up and get D3 to baytown |

| I'll take 30/10 thanks. |

kudos:3 | sure but thats not an option from Comcast
Oh wait I think some marketing regions are saying upto 30/10 instead of selling 22/5
=Marketing rename |
|
| So why 22/5 and not 20/5 like FiOS? Is it one-upmanship with the FiOS people? |

kudos:3 | I think Comcast might be doing a little "one-upmanship"
but which would you pick if given the choice? (FiOS)
I guess the have the room for more downstream but not as much upstream so they figured they'd one up V in the downstream
but that 22 also has some major powerboost for some people (so I've read) so can V let a 20/5 hit 60 for a few sec? |

27Mbps just happens to be the total amount of bandwidth that AT&T U-verse splits between Internet and HDTV (25MHz down, 2MHz up). Maybe it's a subtle tweak at them? "You could have offered 22/5 Internet if you hadn't shoehorned a half-baked IPTV service in too..."
I'm not going to be happy until somebody here builds FTTH. 100Mbps symmetric or bust. Gigabit will be old hat to FiOS customers by the time that happens in AT&T/Comcast land I suspect. |
