So glad Comcast is stepping up

I guess Fios will never be deployed in my area. So glad Comcast is stepping up.

We have DOCSIS 3 and I get 50mbps downloads on the new Arris tm702g eMTA.

They are eliminating most of the analog, and finally we will have an HD channel lineup that comes close to Fios.

The only thing they (Comcast) needs to do to play catch up, is the on screen guide. There's still a lack of widgets, mr-dvr, and internet connectivity with web video's, etc...

Time will tell, but at least my only choice is starting to improve. Heck, I can program my DVR from my iPhone now.

I think that upload speeds are where the widest gaps are found between FiOS and Comcast, at least that is the situation in my region. I think up to 10 Mbps is the most I can hope to get with any package offered by Comcast, and I just can't part with rock solid stable 35 Mbps all day long. Most people don't consider the benefit of having a fast, symmetrical connection, mainly because they can't get it anywhere. Once you've experienced it, it's difficult to let it go for something inferior.

Comcast is not "stepping up." They still have an insanely low 250 GB a month bandwidth cap.

I tried really hard and I used 226 GB this month. Today is the last day of March, so 226 GB for heavy downloading in a 31 day period is still several under 250 GB. Also I lowered my uTorrent upload speed from 10mbps to 1mbps. That will severely help for April.
