Re: [Speed] Reston, Va 16Mb down/1Mb up confirmed.
What better way to test this out than in a market you have to compete with?
Hopefully any problems that come about are learned from when this launches in other areas. |

I highly doubt comcast will launch this service in areas where they are not competing with FIOS, aka. every state to the west. |

00000 | I guess that is possible. However, I am not aware of any other speed upgrades Comcast has pushed out that have not gone nation wide eventually. |

If I am paying the same price as the people in Reston, Va then we both should be getting the same speed!
I am in Philly bring it on!! |

im right in between two FiOS zones. south central CT is between the mass. deployments and the westchester, ny/western ct. maybe im lucky. and to california people: i predict this upgrade will be a lot easier because youre on the CRAN now and not on the old ATTBI equipment. |

verizon is only catering towards white suburban areas.so theres going to be a long wait if you happen to live in urban citys.if you dont belive me just look at some of the democrats asking the same questions.we should boycott them for doing this.their excuses is its easier to deploy fios in does areas but your telling me they couldnt atleast do some of the urban citys.wake up verizon not all urban citys are wired underground or have only high rise apartment complexs. |

Makes a lot of sense rolling it out in VA. That was the first area Adelphia rolled out the 16/2.
Also, Adelphia's lower tier in those areas is 6000/768.
Hmmmm.....Coincidence Comcast will be the same?
Here is a link to Adelphia's 16/2 areas: »www.adelphia.com/extreme/where.html
So, if Comcast is following suit, watch these area below.
The Extreme level of Adelphia High-Speed Internet service is currently available in
the following areas:
Leesburg, VA
State College, PA
Mt. Lebanon, PA
Upper St. Claire, PA
Bethel Park, PA
Temecula, CA
Murrieta, CA

Re: . . . and about the "no cableTV" subscribers?
I do not know if the non TV subscribers will get any type of boost for the standard service. Silver and gold tier subs in Reston, Va will be getting the boosts regardless of other services. Wish I had an answer for the non TV subs though

Re: [Speed] Reston, Va 16Mb down/1Mb up confirmed.
said by MySpareBrain :Also, I dont know what it's like in Virginia, but up here in Massachusetts, if you have the $69.99 bundle package for internet and digital voice you are locked in at 6Mb down. Of course they tell me this after I have already subscribed. That's odd. Here in Jax if you just have CDV you start off on a cheaper 4Mb speed with the options of 6 and 8 with the $10 boost each step. Don't know whats going on in the local market there though.

As of right now, Reston, Va is the only area getting it. So other FIOS competing areas here on the east coast may not be getting it. Only time will tell here.

The rumor mills though are saying 10/1 is going to be the speed boost though this year. I'm not sure if some other areas will see the 16/1 speed or not though. Only time will tell. If this makes a big hit in Reston and makes Comcast a lot of money we -might- see it elsewhere, but don't quote me on that.

said by jaynice :Has this been rolled out already for Reston, VA? From what I read last night it should be live now but it says feb 06 so they could wait till the end of the month to flip the switch. You can try resetting the modem to see if you get the new boot file for it.
For now I'm off.
