kudos:1 | Extreme 105? Noticed this on my bill today. Called one of the local techs and he knows nothing about it (good job Comcast higher-ups!/sarcasm). There is no info on the web site. Anybody know anything about it?
Is this residential? Data caps still apply? |

I wonder if this is still just for business class for now? |

Well at them prices, It only seems reasonable to be for business service. Because that alot of money to throw out there, for a residential account. |

Interesting. Wonder why they decided to have only 10 Mbps up (vs. 15 on biz class)?
I'm guessing the 105 Mbps is there so FTTH providers have to upgrade their equipment to compete in areas that are 100M only right now. Just a hunch.
I personally see no reason why I'd get this service over 50/10, but I'm sure someone will find a use for it. I'm just puzzles why Comcast would price the thing so darned high since the only improvement people will see is on the download side. Guess it's just a PR stunt... |

| Well this speed tier will fail if this is a residential tier, and the cap isn't raised for this tier. Who the hell would pay $450 up front for a tier with a 250gb limit, no one in there right mind would.
Really anyone who would pay $200 a month for 100/10 is alittle crazy, Thats alot of money, and I don't see many residential customers even trying to pay that much for alittle more download speed. |

Mediacom offers a 105/10 tier for the same price, so I'm guessing a few folks will buy it. |

Looks like the install fee is going to include the cost of home networking(Multiple computers). Thats a plus. |

As compared to what. i.e. What other provider do YOU have available with equal or better speeds at a lesser price?
It MAY not be very appealing at that price for most home users, but it is AVAILABLE |

For that fee, I'd expect a total test of, and replacement of (if needed) ALL the house coax and splitters, plus test and repair any TAP or plant issues. |
