| Just a point "Which is strange, since even including municipal fiber deployments in places like Lafayette, Louisiana, the new offering is the fastest broadband in the country."
This quote strikes me as odd for 2 reasons. If we are talking about business broadband, then wouldn't OCx connections count? Also, Lafayette muni fiber seems to be for residential use, no mention of business class on their site. |

| If we are talking about business broadband We're talking about residential broadband. The only reason business broadband is mentioned, is that PC Magazine's editor confused a business commercial for a residential one, then tied it into a broader tirade against Cablevision's latest residential offering. |

Let's not forget the $245 Gigabit service from Paxio.

I think that comfortably beats Cablevision. |

Ashburn, VA | Yes it is. I almost thought it was a joke site when I first saw it until a subscriber posted a speed test in the Comcast forum.
This is my favorite line from their marketing page:
"With PAXIO the speed you sign up for is the speed you get. No claims of "up to" a certain speed as with cable or DSL. You always get the speed you pay for regardless of bandwidth load or time of day." |

A couple of your $300 customers can saturate your $40K 10 gigabit Tier 1 upstream connection. |
