| Double speed I've seen Comcast TV commercials in NJ that state two tiers will soon have double the speed at no additional cost. |
|
| They plan to start charging by gigabyte, so if you actually make use of the the bandwidth it will be at a huge extra cost |
|
| I'm ok with that. |

The faster speed should also help online video to load faster. |

No there not!
Not until you go over the 300GB Cap anyway.
And that cap maybe even higher once they finalize everything. |

| Given how slowly they have moved in the past I wouldn't look for the 300GB monthly limit to increase for at least five years. Currently that new limit puts them ahead of anyone else in the USA that has a monthly limit, and it still is a low enough limit that it will keep the cord cutters that move to Internet downloads to a minimum (which is the main purpose of the limit.) |

But we're talking about 100Mbps here. 300GB can be burned through in hours, so that cap has a loooooooooooong way to go before it is even close to appropriate. Well, it wouldn't actually be that hard--they could just replace "GB" with "TB" |

Who is going to deliver you 300GB of content in "just a few hours?" |

| akamai ? l3 ? Limelight ? IBM ? At&t ?
Should I continue ?
My Company had vpn concentrators on gig links , id appreciate the ability to work from home when I need to do big software installs. Instead of having to go into the office all the time, ohh wait the 300 gig limit still limits me to a couple big installs from home on friday and saturday nights.
