Re: Speed upgradesaid by ztmike:If you called and upgraded to "Ultra" (22/5) then yes. There is no free upgrade to Ultra. (All Comcast speed tiers come with a 250GB monthly cap) unless you order the business tier. Which I believe is only 16/2 I don't think that's true. Several people in Chicago have reported that they got the upgrade to Ultra for free (I think someone may have even posted the letter they received.) |

That Comcast would give Blast users a "free" upgrade to 22/5. But I guess I could be wrong..Comcast acts in strange ways across their service areas. |

Not all markets appear to charge/act the same, if I remember correctly, some markets were being charged a higher rate for Blast initially which may account for the "free" upgrade. Not fact based, just my opinion based on reading posts. |

I went to the local comcast office and picked up a 3.0 modem |

I don't really see that as a free upgrade since it appears to me you are paying about what I would pay if I upgrade my 16/2 ($52.95) connection to 22/5 ($62.95+$3 modem rental.) From what you said here, you seem to be paying $61.95 for Ultra and, my assumption, since you didn't say, is that you also pay $3/mo. for the modem lease. |

The same offer is available here. If you read the terms (or even the Op's posts), it is for existing customers of CATV or CDV and the $65= cost is listed as a "starter" rate (promo?) but I don't see a normal rate, it says call for details. I don't think the letter is a special offer as much as it is an ad. |

From what you said here, you seem to be paying $61.95 for Ultra and, my assumption, since you didn't say, is that you also pay $3/mo. for the modem lease. True, i am paying $62.95 + 3.00 modem( but on a promo for 45.00 ) a month for 6 months But I thought ultra should be 74.95 a month. |
