 4 edits | Post info here about speed upgrades predicted/not here yet Saw a commercial last night during the 10 PM news that Comcast will be doubling speeds in the Portland, OR area on the two highest tiers. So, it appears that the speed increase is indeed coming and hopefully will be here soon. The commercial didn't state a projected date but I was glad just to see the commercial.
Mod Note to all: Please do not post your report of having actually received a recent speed upgrade in this topic. Please post those reports in the stickied topic at the top of this forum.

Re: [Speed] Post here about reports of speed increase coming Atlanta, GA
I just talked to retention because my pro rate on Extreme 50 ran out and the rep mentioned that Extreme 50 will become Extreme 105 at no additional cost after March 26th.
I double-checked with her and she confirmed it. Not an official announcement, but hope! |

 | reply to Oregonian Any reports in the Houston/Spring, TX area?
I saw one person receive the upgrades not too far from here, but I'm curious as to any word when the rest of the area will get upgrades. |

 | reply to Oregonian Just saw the commercial last night for the first time on NBC at 10PM myself. I am in the San-Francisco area.
I have been waiting for these speed upgrades forever, been jealous over the people on the east coast who got this months ago.
Cant wait for my 50/10 blast! |

 | reply to Oregonian Saw a commercial for this in Savannah, GA two nights ago. Unfortunately the rep said Savannah is only slated to increase Blast from 25 download to 35. Looks like no love of 50 for Savannah. |

Cant wait for my 50/10 blast! That is good news, been wondering when it was going to happen in the SF bay area. I guess I should stop skipping through all the commercials! |

 | reply to Andrew T Hopefully your rep was wrong and you will get the full 50.
My Blast! is presently 35/6 and I expect that I will end up at 50/10 after the increase. |

 | reply to Oregonian Only for the two highest tiers? What about Performance? I haven't seen the ad myself. |

It does say it's increasing speed on it's most popular plan. Wouldn't that be Performance? |
|
 | reply to Oregonian But the "leaked screenshot" said they were raising every tier's speed! I have economy tier, don't I get an increase?

 | reply to Oregonian I am just kinda sad that no more 50/15...
Everything that was 50/15 before goes to 105/20 and everything that was blast is going 50/10.
It's more for marketing so they can say the next level is "double" the speeds...
Also wish the 50 was a tad higher still. I know they over provision it to about 55-58 in most cases upsets me to see BH in my area selling lightning 60Mbps and most people getting about 70mbps lol and paying about the same we do for blast... Guess Comcast looks at it as well we have a faster level... with a larger price of course :/
I really hope ATT gets going on the bonding faster. They did a pilot near me with 45mbps internet on bonding but it's still got a ways before full deployment. The faster the net gets the more the competition pushes and hopefully prices can start to drop... hah wishful thinking i know. |

 | reply to Oregonian I've been seeing the commercials about "coming soon", here for roughly 2 weeks. Nashville, TN area.
When on the phone with Comcast one day, the rep also told me that this area was scheduled for April. |

 djoye join:2009-08-15 Murfreesboro, TN | I've heard the ad a couple times on the radio that we were due in March so I'm expecting it this month. A person posted in the stickied upgrade thread saying that they got the 50->105 upgrade in Memphis but that their upstream was still stuck at 10Mbps so at least a part of TN got upgraded. Middle-TN must be coming soon! |

 | reply to Oregonian Also, If you go to the Comcast sight the option to upgrade to extreme 50 is no longer there. Maybe implying it will be very soon? |

Re: [Speed] Post in re reports of speed increase still future I just saw the upgrade commercial in Tacoma,WA (30 mins from Seattle,WA) so I'm guessing the whole of the Pacific Northwest will see it by the end of March. |
