Re: Comcast to acquire TW...

Thank you!

Looks like I would have a lower download (30/5, with TWC, which is considerably over provisioned) as Comcast's closest tier is 25/5. I don't like that! Why does Comcast have too many low tiers but nothing between 25/5 and 50/10? 25/10 would be pretty good but I happen to be happy with 30/5.

The lower tiers are considered "retention tiers" as to not lose customers to cord cutting or DSL. It's also a starter for some to get them onboard with cable internet. In addition, there are actually "Double Play" bundles with the low end tier and TV service at a great price. Whether it works or not is unknown to me.
