| Why is it?! Why is it that Cablevision can do 15/2 for $29.95-49.95 (single/dual-triple play) and Verizon can do 20/5 for $54.95 and 20/20 for $64.95 and Comcast still thinks they can get away with overcharging for their top tier, throttling and have an aggregate data cap?!?
It would only seem fair that their competition in these markets not only do better... but exploit Comcast's weakness of their high prices and limited use in their advertising.
Why bother to upgrade to docsis 3.0 if your going to gouge your customers anyway? & who cares if the terms of service are going to suck. What a waste of money.. hope they take a bath on docsis 3.0 by losing customers above and beyond what they already will lose due to the weakening economy. |

22/5 service is $62.95, so it's only a few bucks more than Verizon's 20/5 service. There isn't currently the capability to do 20/20 in a mass deployment on DOCSIS systems yet, so that eliminates that as being an option.
50/10 is $139.95 with Comcast, and 50/20 is $139.95 with FiOS. Again, DOCSIS limitations are the biggest reason for not being able to counter with a 20mbps upstream offering. |

If 16/2 was available in my area it would cost $70. What Comast is charging seems like a good deal to me. Not ot mention at least Comcast sems liek it's wanting to bring higher sppeds to al areas. Some Charter areas have had 16/2 for nearly 2 years meanwhile in my area there is no timetable for 16/2. |
