Call for symmetrical speeds..

Symmetrical speeds especially for the lower tiers have been long witheld and surcharged (+$15) over asymmetrical packages. The time's come to truly compete and offer better packages than the competition.. which in most competitive markets means:

15/15 megabits $29.95
30/30 megabits $59.95
50/30 megabits $79.95
103/75 megabits (answering cablevision's 101/15) for
$101.15

We won't even make the comparisons to other countries that have 100/100 for under $50/month

Comcast will be the most hurt from that kind of price scale/cut... but hey, that's competition for ya. Alternatively, they can max out current BPON's @ 75/75 megabit for $89.95 That would be alot cheaper than a truck roll to swap out BPONS which there are MANY in the field now.. so a custom tier for maxing it out should be considered.

Though, this will be a tipping point for many consumers to consider cutting the cable-tv service, because anything above about 30 megabits is a direct result of the customer demanding video services over the internet, be it streaming, downloading or 'illicit' swapping of files. This all comes on the heels of building good will after jettisoning BAD R.O.I. footprints to companies such as fairpoint, SO THE BOLDER THE OFFERINGS, THE MORE GOOD WILL YOU SPREAD (to the consumer) AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CABLE INDUSTRY, WHOM YOUR IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH.

Fios only overlaps 12% of Comcast footprint. Won't hurt much. This rumored upgrade is directed at Cablevision.
