Re: New Internet plans Comcast is working on!! said by Tekneek:Fast speeds are less meaningful with data caps/metered usage.
If I was selling a metered service, I would set it unrestricted for all.

said by ssavoy: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.
Nah, other than do something stupid, like, oh make the customers happy. |

Bandwidth costs are going down, yet as they increase the speeds, they are increasing the price. IMO $49 is just too expensive for Internet.
I'll drop down to the $29 if these plans go into effect.

It was part of a much larger bill insert that covered all of Comcast services. |

kudos:2 | Not to go too far OT, but this brings up a question I've had for a long time - what are all the different Comcast "Regions" and is there a map showing them all?
The most common that I've seen mentioned are:
“Freedom” Region: Eastern PA, Northern DE and NJ
“Beltway” Region: Southern DE, MD, VA, DC
“Heartland" Region: IN and MI |

Central: Heartland, Big South, Florida, Chicago
West: Houston, Mountain, Oregon/SW Washington, California, Twin Cities, Washington, Mile High
Edit: Fixed it by Division. Trying to find a map. |

4 edits | OK, thanks. So then:
"Greater Boston" Region: Eastern MA, NH, ME, RI
"West New England" Region: Western MA, CT, NY, VT?
“Freedom” Region: Eastern PA, Northern DE and NJ
“Keystone” Region: Central PA, Pittsburgh and parts of OH, WV, and MD
“Beltway” Region: Southern DE, MD, VA, DC
"Big South" Region: GA, AL, MS, LA, TN, KY?, NC?
"Florida" Region: FL
“Heartland" Region: IN, MI, AR?, KS?, MO?
"Twin Cities" Region: MN, WI?
"Chicago" Region: IL
"Houston" Region: TX
"Mile High" Region: CO, NM
"Mountain" Region: UT, AZ
"Seattle" Region: WA
"Portland" Region: OR
So then, what region are the CA systems in? Portand?
EDIT: According to »comcastcalifornia.mediaroom.com/···php?s=40 it looks like California is broken-up into 2 "regions":
"Greater San Francisco Bay Area" and "Central Valley" |
