wave a magical wand
It takes how long to put together a network. What magic wand do you think can be waved to make the speeds nearly double overnight?
Give it some time. |

Well, could it be possible that they already have the capability, and are just lying to everyone to keep up prices, and then make everyone think that they are getting a better deal when speeds go up?

| I'm sure one of the good comcast guys will refer to a link about how some areas are very capable of just "flipping a switch" while other areas are near max capacity and require a complete re-do of the entire setup before they can reach the 3meg speeds. I believe comcast is waiting until they can offer these speeds to everyone across the board before they bump everyone up.

That's not been their history .. .
1) The initial transition from @home was done by areas in the country
2) The 256 upload was done by areas in the country
3) Traffic shaping was implemented by areas in the country

| I doubt they could have the capability for all of us right this second that we could see this all tomorrow. (Unless of course they've been keeping the development hidden from us over the past few weeks)
The stockholders are very concerned about market share. There are other means to profitability.. including bundling services. Stockholders are much more concerned about market share, then they are the quick buck. Market share ensures a good long runner in the broadband industry. Right now, Verizon is taking a lot of that away from them. Comcast will try and counter that loss.

Truth is, they could pump it up right now because they have fibre outside everyone's home......This is all smoke and mirrors because they charge roughly $43-$46/month for 1500/256 and $95.00 for 3000/384.....so were does this 100MB connection fit in ??? |
