I've called twice for information now. The number is 800XFINITY.  I'm not sure if it's "only" Chicago, but she specifically said, "Chicago markets on March 4, and others on April 15th." |

Has anyone gotten the 50/10 upgrade to Blast in the Miami area? |

said by mario02423:Confirmed with 800XFINITY again -- Chicago markets are increasing on March 4th, other markets are increasing on April 15th. The Extreme 105 will stay the same but the price will go down (at least in Chicago markets). No 200+ service yet...
I find it extremely hard to believe that Chicago is the only market launching on that date. |

So, I wonder if "Chicago Market" is Bloomington, IL as well |

I'm in Champaign and I received speed increase message. So I would assume that you're area is also included. |

Kankakee, IL | Im going to do double what I do now lol. Not much that I can do with 105 that I can't already do with 50 lol. Maybe download all these free games that came with my limited addition ps3 that I just got. 12 full game downloads is a lot of GB's |

I now have received a message on my cable box here in Detroit (Downriver), also, Comcast pays WWJ Newsradio 950 to do ads for them (by the news anchors.) This morning the man doing the ad mentioned the speed increases. |

Re: [Speed] Speed increase Very excited about this. The west Ann Arbor routing topology recently changed significantly...they moved to a single xe-SUR router between here and Pontiac and speeds have already been more consistent since then. Can't wait for the new config file! |

I'm in Champaign and I received speed increase message. So I would assume that you're area is also included. I don't have a box, and haven't gotten anything in my Comcast.net email (which I don't really ever check), so I just have to follow what's going on here.
I just upgraded to Blast last week... so I'm really looking forward to those 50M speeds! Big difference from the Performance package! |

Im by washtenaw ave, still no change here. I dont think the change of route makes any difference speed wise.
we have performance, 25Mb down with power boost and then 16. what will i get after the new speed increase ? |

Ypsilanti, MI | I'm off Stadium and experienced frequent congestion on Blast (36 down w/powerboost then 25) until they changed the route. Now I get my provisioned speeds more frequently. Looks like performance will go to 25/4 in a2, and blast will go to 50/10. Can't wait! |
