said by JigglyWiggly: Comcast's routing is mediocre compared to ATT's or Verizon's.
Sweeping statement / broad generalization ?
I don't know why they don't just make DOCSIS not all jittery.
Docsis 4.0 should do that,
Nature of the beast ?
though 300 megabits at 130$ is kind of tempting if I lived in one of those areas.
But to be honest, once you get that fast, it's not quite fast enough for the fast things you'd want to be doing.
It's only fast enough once you have gigabit symetrical so you can actually treat the pc over the internet as if it were on your LAN.
Wonder how many remote servers are out there that can actually push that speed ?
75 megabits is nowhere close to that.
I also don't see how it would be possible to due 1 gigabit upload on their current cables or w/e. But I have no idea, you could go back to 2002 and say 300megabits on copper would be impossible.

Comcast has to offer something more than FiOS, they cannot simply match. 1. You're getting less upload with Comcast. 2. It's higher latency than fiber. Yeah ? I wasn't asking why, I know why.
My point was that Comcast announced a 305 tier, the image shows 300.

Its not about single connections anymore, there are so many devices on my lan and they are always pulling data. If I had more bandwidth, I would add even more (mostly media boxes)

I guarantee you that these comcast rates are factoring in hard caps with data overages.

In FiOS markets, doubtful. Comcast did not even enforce their 250 gig cap here when they had it. This is even on congested nodes.
FiOS is a huge threat to them. Verizon here is almost done with their build out and will have the rest of the city done within a year and a half. |

once you get on my level, all ping, click the image to zoom in, it's big
»dl.dropbox.com/u/46294175/hacker/haxer3.png
i'm not going to embed that, it's too large for this page.
also to EG
what do you mean?
just have a router that can push around a gigabit (pfsense) or if you have a fast consumer router you could probably do 500 mb/s
and then transfer files if both sides are gigabit
which I don't think we'll see for a long time |

quake live's netcode is very finicky. There is a huge difference according to players between LAN and 20 ms ping. I can't confirm, I've never played on LAN. But there is a HUGE difference between 20 and 60. With Comcast I get 40-50 ms ping to LA, and I get 20ms to LA with att's DSL. Also way less jitter on ATT.
it feels a lot better with 20ms as well.
The LG sticks better, and the rails don't go through as much.
Quake live's LG and Railgun are all server side, and you can ask anyone on the forums, there is a big difference.
Comcast is bad for games. |

How are these new? I'm currently getting 25/5 and getting dinged $49/month... an increase of $5 from where it used to be. |

said by travelguy:Interesting to compare against what is offered in this area: Those current rates don't really jive with what I'm paying now. I pay $72.95 for Blast, with no TV service. If I'm paying a $15 penalty for having unbundled service that would put Blast at $57.95.
Still, I'll be cutting back to Performance the day these new plans go into effect. Should save somewhere between $8 and $20 per month. |

Where will these plans be available? How can you confirm that Comcast will release these plans? |

Call your local office. The pricing varies by region. Those prices are available now in my area per the bill insert. YMMV |

| Oh yeah ? You can get the 300 package for $119 ?

Similar to what others have suggested, this sounds possibly like new base rates for the speeds/service and then metered data usage. That would be awful. Fast speeds are less meaningful with data caps/metered usage. |
