Re: whats this mean for current comcast pro customers Who knows, but i know they have been upgrading where i live. My Internet -pro STUNK for the first 8 months, but to comcast's crdit, they didnt make me pay for it. Now, i am rock solid 384/3.5 but i should be, as internet pro here is 95.00 a month Hopefully, they will give us an option of internet Super Duper pro, at around 1.5 up, and 10 mb down, for 125.00 a month. after all they only charge 39.00 for 1.5/256
But good news is, they are definately upgrading here. should, i screamed loud enough.
Happy with internet pro now, but would like more upload for gamming |

That's a totally unrealistic price point. You want them to add 6.5mb down and 1.1mb up for 30 dollars more? Have you ever even run a business? Bandwidth isn't free for anyone....to support 10mb/1.5 would be a hell of a lot more than $125...and you don't need more than 384 up, unless you are running some crappy game server.

| With regard to the comment "and you don't need more than 384 up, unless you are running some crappy game server" you are mistaken. There are remote administrative tasks that are done on some large networks that run slow at 384, and considerable better at 10MB plus. Perhaps you ahould re-evaluate before posting on things you may not understand. |

Well, Korean Telecom is offering VDSL (13 Mbps download) for 50,000 Won which is around $40 to $45. And they've been running the business for long time. It looks like the bandwidth is free for them. |

Better suited for a business line and not your residential line. Nuff said.

No one can be too rich. When I first got broadband four years ago I had 1500/384kbps DSL. Two years later that seemed slow. After having COMCAST Pro speeds for a year I have gotten used to it and it doesn't seem as fast as it did when I first got it. I currently pay US$95 for COMCAST Pro at 3500/384kbps and I am still looking for something faster. I would gladly pay up to US$150 for 10/1.5Mbps (up/down) and I would pay more for faster speeds. While the upload speed isn't all that important to me I would really like to have as much download bandwidth as possible. As the saying goes "...[one] can never be too rich...and [one] can never have too much bandwidth." |

Forget EVER getting 1500kbps upload. the current system cable uses only has 4.6mbps(after overhead) on each node. that would mean three users uploading would saturate the upload channel and others download rates would fall and latency would increase. DOCSIS 2.0 alleviates this somewhat but only adds 10mbps to the upload channel. want 1.5mbps up either get a T1 or if u can get it i believe Speakeasy offers up to 1.5mbps upload (sysadmin/god packages) of course if you cant get DSL that point is moot.

| Well like I said I'd really like to have the download speed. I don't run servers and pretty much just download large files form work and surf the internet and check e-mail. If it weren't for having to download large files from work I could probably get by with "dial-up". NOT!!. |

Korean networks were subsidized by their governments. So, yes, the bandwidth was very cheap for them. |

RE: "Better suited for a business line and not your residential line. Nuff said."
No, not "nuff said". They have the infastructure and the means to deliver higher speeds than what they're offering. If we the CUSTOMERS, business or residential, have the willingness to PAY for it, so be it!
Some people like in homes that are large enough to be department stores, does that mean it SHOULD be a department store? No, it's still a home. So super high speeds should only be reserved for businesses? Why? Why can't that gap be bridged? Long gone SHOULD be the days when the little guy had dial up and the amazons of the world used T1-T3. Even the biggest companies cqan benefit from their customers having higher bandwidth. |
