Re: Speed increase for businss starter - northeast

Oh, really? It's about time. I'd love to know more.

Edit: "New speeds" are out. Surprise, Comcast blows...
said by hhahn:

Wow. These "new" speeds are a joke.

"In early October, Starter and Premium Internet speeds will significantly increase."

Significant increase my ass.

Meanwhile, residential speeds were doubled at half the cost of business service. Without any increase in price.

Instead, we get a bump up in price without any increase in speed.

Dear god I wish I didn't have to put up with this pathetic company.

I guess to be fair to Comcast, when you're offering such little, poor service to begin with, you can play the percentage game.

Since this is the first time in 4 years we've seen a "significant" increase, maybe in another 4 years we'll be fortunate enough see something like 35 mbps for only $150/mo or so.

Our business account in Wilmington, which was originally set up as 22/5 in Oct of 2011 - was pulling 100 down on a speed test I ran last week in the store... increases definitely are on their way.

i wouldn't rely on speedtests to say speed increases are coming...

i've been pulling 70/75 down on my 12/2 line....does that mean I will be getting 70/75 soon, NO....

i'll believe it when I see it or when I get notified.
