| Verizon has a great product, for now. But their customer service sucks out loud. I have fios 20 over 5. I have Comcast phone service. I have tv with Comcast because fios tv is not available in our town as the town & Verizon cannot agree on a contract. When I try to contact Verizon about my fios service their voice queue keeps asking for my telephone number. In my opinion, Verizon maintains a culture of arrogance as AT&T did of yore.
Comcast sucks too but less.
So I am a whore for the fastest product, which, at the present time, is Fios. But when 50 over 50 comes down the pike I will be on it in a heartbeat. | |

| Re: wow said by GOLFnSUN :said by en102 :What's the point of having 50/50Mbps when you're throttled/capped ? The caps will change upward as the infrastructure is improved. The current word is they tossed users that were well north of 100 GBs/month. So when the infrastructure is enhanced double, triple, etc, the caps will be too. Highly unlikely. They will keep the caps intact to force users to pay more if they go over their invisible limit. Isn't that what big business' want? capitalize on everything?

| Re: wow True: Malicious traffic (open relays, hosting newsgroups, botnets, etc. ) and general hackers can be dealt with.
However, if I decide to stream HD video, lets say 8 hours / day, I should not be deemed and excessive user. For reasons like this, I'm still on DSL. No CAPS, no filters (smtp is currently filtered, but can be removed by request), and very little jitter.
In fact, DSL-Extreme doesn't care if I run servers off my connection.

| Re: wow 'excessive' bandwidth usage should be based on past history and current network load. it should not depend on what the data being transmitted is (game server data, p2p, youtube, etc.), only that it is data. i'd probably consider you an excessive bandwidth user for those 8 hours, assuming it is fairly often and network load is high. i'd have no problem limiting your connection during peak network usage (say ~90% utilization of network capacity) to allow for others that may need to do just sporadic downloading for small files.
in the end, it is not fair to those that don't do huge amounts of downloading or uploading all the time be penalized with a slower connection, packet dropping, or unstable pings because a few that saturate their connection all the time. ideally, caps should do this, but in reality probably not so much. | |

| Re: wow Well, lets say that there's a new company out there, pushing HD IPTV . All I need is an Internet connection. Now should my TV service over the Internet be capped because I don't want to pay for Comcast TV service ?
I've downloaded a few Linux DVD ISO images, on DSL, and have never had any issues (we're talking many GB here). If I'm paying for a 6Mbps line, I should be able to use it.
The cable model is based on high speed bursts, not sustained high end downloads / uploads due to the shared nature. They shouldn't oversell a node. Comcast even described this in their FCC statement yesterday. What sort of sucks is that its on a node by node basis where the issue occurs. You could be on a node with no traffic and consume almost as much as possible, while being on a node with a few high consumption neighbors, your status would degrade.

I've been thinking about migrating to Cable (TW here) for a package deal, or even AT&T, however, I use this line for business, and I don't want some corp. bean counter deciding for me that I can't run certain apps, or that I can't use a specific amount of bandwidth per month, or specific time of day.

| I CHALLENGE your assertion. If right now, they 'kick' someone for over 200GB of usage on a 6/768 connection, and now they offer 50/50 connections, do you really thing they won't bounce you until you hit 1.8TB of data? I mean, if they increased the caps as much as they increased the speeds, I sure as hell wouldn't bother to buy the higher speed, I'd stick with my 6/768 connection an use 1.5TB per month safely. Caps, and they DO exist, will most certainly NOT go up.

| Re: wow Agreed.. here's the 'issue'
A) DSL = lower bit rate, but typically you will hit your max w/o issue (eg. ADSL 6-7Mbps, VDSL at 10Mbps). Typically a better QoS on DSL, IMO.
B) Cable 6-25Mbps, slow downs during peak usage, but for bursty transmissions, and less distance limitations, Cable works well.
Think of DSL as token ring, and Cable as ethernet with a hub (not switch).
Unless I'm mistaken HD uncompressed is 19.2Mbps, and unless there's a queuing mechanism, I don't think you'll be having decently streamed HD over the internet for a while w/o buffering

| The caps are one thing, but them getting it wrong is another.
If you can't log into your account with them and see what you've transfered, you've got very little in the way of defending yourself when they get it wrong (and they do get it wrong sometimes).
Sure, who doesn't want that speed, and caps are even dealable with, but the secrecy and how they do things sort of puts a whole damper on that.
The problem is the corporate culture, the business practices, the secrecy, the arrogance. That's the problem. Fix that, the caps aren't really as big a deal anymore. | |

| Hmmm.... I'll believe when I'll see it. And how will that tier cost? Knowing the Comcast record on delivering anything on time I would not be holding my breath for 50/50 Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 by 2010 from them. Chances are that by the time Comcast delivers 50/50 sometime by 2015, Verizon will be providing 100/100 or more for $30/month. In the past 3 years Comcast hasn't delivered a single big item product. They still have not deployed DOCSIS 2.0, Switched Digital Video (SDV), a decent modern TV guide, OCAP, Multistream CableCard, DSG and a lousy selection of HD channels to name a few.
With bandwidth throttling and other questionable practices I would not be surprised if by 2010-2015 they wouldn't have the customer base to sell that 50/50 tier.

| I have been a network engineer for 18 years, a consultant for 13 years and a customer of Insight high speed internet for 8 years. When I first started with Insight it was still @home. Insight always took care of my problems with 1 hour when I called. I have even moved my account from one location to another and replaced my cable modem and it still only took them 45 minutes to fix my account.
Comcast changed all of the business customers that I support. Comcast did not inform them of a pending switch. VPN's broken all over the state. It was a mess.
Regarding my personal internet connection. The switch also broke my connection completely. I called support and waited for 1:45 to talk to some one. This person tells my that they do not have the correct information for my cable modem. (OK. I can understand that) I give them the modem MAC address and model. She puts my on hold for 30 minutes. Then she informs me that she will have to send this to "LEVEL 3" support and the problem will be solved in 24 hours. 24 hours later I call at 10pm spend 36 minutes on hold, to find they need the MAC again and the "LEVEL 3" support person already looked at it and didn't do anything with it. 52 minutes later I have my internet back.
Good CS. OK I will take your word for it. I haven't seen it yet. | |

| Re: People stop complianing said by wem1969a :Comcast changed all of the business customers that I support. Comcast did not inform them of a pending switch. VPN's broken all over the state. It was a mess. As much as I feel ambivalent towards every aspect of Comcast, that one's 100% your fault if it was you setting up and supporting those networks. Always use DynDNS to locate the ends of your tunnel unless you have a truly static IP.

| Re: Y'all can pass on it! Sure.. Would you like your 50/50 in cans or bottles? mmmm. Lemon/Lime..
Even slow-witted chimps on a all day crack binge wouldn't believe any US ISP is going to hand over 50 Mb/s upload speed in this life-time.  | |

Boston, MA | Re: 20% huh... The real cost of the whole thing is going to be any head end upgrades required which will differ by market, but for sure they will need to distribute new CPE devices. DOCSIS 3.0 is useless without a DOCSIS 3.0 CPE. | |

Port Perry, ON | Considering that new modems are needed for DOCSIS 3.0 and quite possibly new line cards in the CMTS, I fail to see how that's a simple software upgrade. | |

MD | Great news for FIOS.... Since Comcast is a direct Competitor here and FIOS right now is being developed on GPON in my area... This is good news since FIOS will compete with 100/100 when Comcast does this.
