| Oh yeah! As a Comcast customer, I am really looking forward to these speed upgrades. I know a lot of Comcast customers are in fact. However, they will not come overnight as we all know. I know I have been skeptical of news like this before. A lot of people will say, "Time will tell." Well, in broadband technology, it is a forgone conclusion that the speeds will go up. That much is certain. It may not happen for a year or two but it will happen.
Now, as for more upload bandwidth, I would like to see it. However, there are a lot of people who run FTP servers, Kazaa, and so on 24/7. If the upload bandwidth goes up, then there better be a pretty major amount of bandwidth to go around. Just raising the 384k bandwidth to 640k could be a pretty big problem. I am pretty content with 256k for a while. I don't upload that much at all.
I say kudos to Comcast and I hope to see those increased speeds down the road!

kudos:4 | With QPSK the upload is around 4.6mbps on the upload channel/node. its not as easy as just changing the rates in the config files and sending to the modems. IMHO going over 384kbps on a large network like comcasts would be detrimental to everyones service.
