Free Upgrades from 16/2 to 22/5 in Colorado

said by Eth_Rem See Profile :

6/1 is going to 12/2 (12Mbps with powerboost, no upload powerboost mentioned)
8/2 is going to 16/2 (20/4 with powerboost
16/2 is going to 22/5 (30/7 with powerboost)
and Extreme is getting launched for 99.95 per month (no powerboot mentioned).

They are free upgrades...
What is the price residential customers in that area are paying now for each of those tiers, with another Comcast service (phone, TV or both) and without any other CC service?

So far, we have found when this "free upgrade" from 16/2 to 22/5 occurs, it is because those customers were already paying what most others have been paying for 22/5, but were only getting Blast speeds until this "free upgrade."

From the first post in this topic:

In Aurora, we have been paying for HSI only (no phone or tv) -

Performance (6/1) 54.95
Performance Plus (8/2) 64.95
Blast (16/2) 74.95

Those prices do not include the 3$ modem rental fee, also I am not sure the exact discount we would get for bundling with phone/TV.

Re: Let's keep all DOCSIS 3.0 Discussion in this thread, please

Thank you. I pay $52.95 (without promotion pricing) for 16/2, but I do have a TV service as well. I'm not sure what standard pricing is for Blast when one subscribes to that w/o another service here, but it will be interesting to know if you get a "free upgrade" to 22/5 or if that is only for those who have Blast at a higher price than mine who also subscribe to another service.

I still can't believe I get Extreme for $70.00, probably I am in the Home town of Comcast Philly.

sortofageek - You are correct about the pricing.

Here in CO, Blast is 62.95 with cable, 74.95 without. So we are essentially paying the same price people in other markets pay for Ultra. Its bittersweet. You get faster speeds... but you pay more for Blast service than other markets that have launched it.

You mean currently, subscribers that have Blast now are paying $62.95 and will get a free upgrade to Ultra - but the free upgrade from 8/2 to 16/2 means Blast will be $52.95, right?

Re: Free Upgrades from 16/2 to 22/5 in Colorado

Yes, that's what I mean.

Basically, here's the breakdown (with/without another service)

12/2 - 42.95/54.95
16/2 - 52.95/64.95
22/5 - 62.95/74.95
50/10 - 99.95/111.95

I may be wrong on the Extreme tier. Its not been finalized on pricing yet. I know it won't exceed 110 for residential with cable.

Any idea what the 50/10 tier will be for Business Class? The roommate and I want to be able to VPN and work from home without any sort of bandwidth caps...if the pricing isn't too exorbitant...
