Interesting move on Portland

That area down there was also an early FiOS market and is Comcast territory. A lot of tech folks in the western suburbs and the city of Portland is chock full of young educated hipsters. No surprise on their decision to launch in Portland.

I can see the $30/3Mb plan getting action for the home plans.
People are cutting back, and face it, 3Mb would cut it for alot of the internet users out there.

But $50 for 6Mb is over the top since FiOS is available at that price for 20Mb - and then there's Comcast.

Intel is the largest private employer in Oregon with their operations in the western Portland suburbs.

I just switched to Clear home service(6mb/$40)from comcast simply for the fact that it gives me more than enough speed for my use, yet I have the option to take my modem with me and get service in other locations. I'm located in Portland, and have already used my modem in Beaverton and Hillsboro. Heck, with a power converter, I can even use it in my car. Also, I'm month to month, so, worst case, I'm out just a $35 activation fee, and I can go back to comcast. Now, it'll be interesting to see the speed and connection consistancy as more users begin to sign up.
