| New Internet plans Comcast is working on!! »i.imgur.com/jBKd4.jpg
My friend managed to get this image. Looks like they're completely changing both the internet plans and the modems you get. I know it wasn't supposed to go out, but I HAD to share this. All I have is this one image, no further details about it. There's some fine print on the bottom that's kind of hard to read, but it looks like it says that it's not final.
I want these plans NOW!! |

These plans are already public information in the NE region. Pretty sure they only apply to the NE region anyway. |

300/75 for $120? That's optimistic. |

100/25 for $99
300/75 for $119
So, triple the speed for $20 more per month?! Wow! |

It appears to be slide 19/32, so it could be 1 plan that was survey'd, or "We can't do this" or promo pricing with QUAD$$$ play or base price with 50GB or whatever.
I'd have to see more slides or an actual mock flyer/press release before I get on that boat. |

If the prices look reasonable expect a catch 22, in which case Performance look reasonable at $49. |

I look forward to saving $20/month. I don't expect it to actually happen, though. |

This seems too good to be true. 300mbps for $119/month is a steal.
If this isn't fake, it might be in FiOS-only areas. There's no reason to deploy this in areas dominated by 3-mbit DSL. |

We aren't far away from these plans now. $70 for 50/10? That is the current blast service, and that is just a tad less than I pay now. The only two plans that are much less are the top two plans. With the caps the way they are now, I would only get the blast service. Now, if they had larger caps for the faster speeds, then I would consider getting them. Right now, that isn't the case though.
This slide is interesting to say the least. Its plausible to see this kind of pricing.

| Basically all those other speeds are already known and there since Comcast already rolled those out in the NE (North East). The 300 for $119 though might be pushing it, i'd see $149 or even $179 to try undercut Verizon a bit but guess we will see soon enough 
I just want 100-120Mbps and 15-20Mbps Up and i'm golden! |

With that speed, I want to see 750gb-1TB monthly caps included.

kudos:3 | But at that price, I'd guess that you are going to see overages, probably above 300GB.
It's the only way to explain the really cheap rates at the top end. |

With the caps currently being evaluated, I don't know what to expect. It is my hope that larger caps come with faster plans. That hasn't been ironed out. I would agree with you that the cheap rates on the top end may be in relation to just keeping the lower caps. It certainly sounds plausible.

As always ... add $15.00 a month if you do not subscribe to their cableTV. |

To me, this slide looks like something out of a Comcast marketing department brainstorming meeting, maybe held several months ago, when they first got word of Verizon FiOS coming out with their “Quantum” (300/65) tier. Then sometime later on, they finalized their plans with the recently announced “Platinum” 305/65 tier and the Northeast speed upgrades.
From the speeds quoted (100 vs. 105, 300/75 vs. 305/65), the names used for some of the tiers (“Premier” vs. “Platinum”), to the incredible price for that “300/75” tier (I think it was a typo and was supposed to say "$199" instead of "$119"), I have to agree with the others who are very skeptical about this. |
