Re: [Speed] Northeast speed changes coming. Sounds like Comcast pissed themselves after Verizon revealed FiOS Quantum at 300Mbps. It makes sense it's only in the Northeast because that's where overlap markets are located for Comcast and FiOS. |

If this is true, I hope DC is included as it's a large overlapping market with FiOS and Comcast. |

No Comcast didnt piss themselves, Verizon pissed themselves when Comcast upped their speeds to 10Gbps. I assure you Verizon is playing follow the leader not vice versa, and still they are only offering up to 300Mbps as opposed to Comcasts 10Gbps, yes with a G. |

Comcast is incapable of providing speeds anywhere close to 10Gbps over cable. The fastest the D3 standard allows is 300 Mbps.
If you are talking about Comcast Enterprise service, you do realize that's done completely over fiber and isn't even really done by Comcast. They contract out to a 3rd party company for the fiber link and even that service doesn't offer a 10Gbps connection.

Where can you get 10Gbps at home? That's enterprise only service. This is Comcast's response to FiOS upgrades. |

Correction: Comcast might contract for building out the fiber to a given location, but once that's done they own the network end-to-end. That said, you're looking at $30,000 or more for that connection per month. |

I do understand all of that, I work for Comcast Enterprise Service and it is in fact done on our own Fiber network 70% of the time the other 30% of the time is due to serviceability of our footprint and utilize level 3 in these cases so we can provide service across the country, UP TO 10Gbps. |
