Any idea when we'll see the speed increases here? Maybe someday? --

I think my connection hit a road bump now: About two hours ago - Now - Edit: Well download fixed itself but upload is still bleh lol. Edit 2: Well guess it somehow fixed itself on both down/up again now lol.

wiz562 @comcast.net	reply to mrschultz02 Just wondering if I could tell of a speed boost through a new firmware version. Rumor has it that it might be here, but I really see no increases in speed. I'm using this one... Model Name: SB6120 Vendor Name: Motorola Firmware Name: SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.8-SCM01-NOSH Boot Version: PSPU-Boot 1.0.0.4m1 Hardware Version: 3.0 Firmware Build Time: Aug 30 2012 15:35:46

FifthE1ement Tech Nut join:2005-03-16 Fort Lauderdale, FL 1 edit	I just got this notice in South Florida on my cable box messages: "Exciting News: Increased speeds on the way! XFINITY will soon be increasing internet speeds on its most popular plan and doubling two of its fastest. That's right - The fastest internet and fastest in-home Wi-Fi is about to get even faster." I just checked and no increase yet. I'm on the Ultra/Blast! tier and get about 36MB Down and 7MB Up. I think that is with PowerBoost enabled. I'm excited for the 50MB upgrade! Anyone get it yet or gotten a better time-frame or notice? I think we should see it on March 1st or soon after? 5th -- "The relationship between what we see and what we know is never settled..."

LarryE join:2000-07-29 Chicago, IL kudos:1	reply to mrschultz02 I don't know if this has an "official" answer yet, but since the 50Mbps tier is getting a free upgrade to the 105Mbps tier, what about us who paid that $250.00 installation fee. Are we getting that refunded? And, if they are getting the upgrade for the same price as the 50Mbps they are paying, does that mean that my $200.00/Mo. will be cut in half?

LarryE join:2000-07-29 Chicago, IL kudos:1	Just chatted with Comcast and those of us who were stupid enough to shell out that $250.00 will only get a kick in the face for having done so. Isn't that nice?

LarryE join:2000-07-29 Chicago, IL kudos:1	And no word yet if our price will be cut either. Now wouldn't that be another kick. They get the upgrade from 50/10 to 105/20 for $99.00 and we get to pay the $199.00 for the same thing.

Big Hurt join:2004-02-26 Battle Creek, MI Reviews: ·Comcast ·BroadStripe	reply to mrschultz02 So is the 30/6 going to 50/10? Or is it a different tier that is getting the increase? Also here is my speed test just ran.

Premium,MVM join:2002-01-20 Bristol, CT kudos:6 Reviews: ·Comcast	reply to LarryE said by LarryE: Just chatted with Comcast and those of us who were stupid enough to shell out that $250.00 will only get a kick in the face for having done so. Isn't that nice? I can understand the frustration, however, everybody knows that can be the price of buying "bleeding edge" technology. I would not characterize those of you who shelled out a premium of $250.00 as "stupid"...but you wanted to be the first in line for the "latest", and as is common, there is a price to be at the head of the line. Also as is common, you blazed the way for more mainstream users...not much consolation I am sure, but true nonetheless. I have a friend who bought a 46" plasma tv and spent over $4K on it...now you can buy a better quality model...from the same company... same size...better resolution and features for under $1K. But he was the first guy on the block to have one... -- Deeds, not words

LarryE join:2000-07-29 Chicago, IL kudos:1	reply to PeteC2 Yes, I understand what you are saying about the "bleeding edge" technology. But it's also very easy to have an "I really don't care what you had to pay" attitude by those who didn't have to pay it.

Tomcat353 join:2002-12-27 Jacksonville, FL	So...I just got the message on my cable box saying the top two speed tiers are doubling... I currently have 105/20 (paying $199.95/mo), does that mean it'll double to 210/40? Or am I missing something?

In the Northeast (which has already seen the speed bumps), 105/20 stayed the same but moved down to the 50/10 price.

PeteC2 Got Mouse? Premium,MVM join:2002-01-20 Bristol, CT kudos:6 Reviews: ·Comcast	reply to mrschultz02 So I guess it is now official, though I saw the speed changes yesterday. Just got the speed increase email this morning. Says up to 20 down and 4 up. Shaper is more like 22/4.4, which is not unusual for Comcast. The only surprise to me is that I thought they were going to do away with PB, which is no longer showing on uploads, but still appears on downloads. Certainly not earth-shattering, especially to those of you with greater need, but I am satisfied. It will never be the same as when I first went from 56K dial-up to dsl at 1.2Mbps...now that was a speed increase! -- Deeds, not words
