|
 |  | | Considering a DS3 would cost $2,000/mo+ the $150 doesn't sound so bad. Then again $150/mo sounds expensive when you don't understand what bandwidth really cost. | |
|
 |  |  | | Re: This is a big rip off!!! I think you meant to say that 150 dollars a month sounds expensive when you do understand what bandwidth really costs. Right?
Sorry, but raw bandwidth is dirt cheap, it's delivering it to consumers using expensive means (copper/coax) that is expensive.
Comcast's costs to upstream that 50mbit burst is very inexpensive, their costs to offer that speed connection over their coax network to thousands of users without setting caps and throttling is very expensive. | |

 |  |  |  | | Re: This is a big rip off!!! No, the REAL cost of bandwidth includes the delivery. Stop comparing bandwidth pricing from carriers and webhosting companies that whore out every bit of bandwidth they have. | |

So, they now treat all customers the same. You all asked for it.. you will now get what you asked for. you have 250GB, use it how you please.
Where did it ever say that the internet would be some vast, no limits, resource that could be used for eternity with out some sort of limits?
The model and use of the internet is evolving; everyone here says that. So, with evolution comes many other changes. If the internet is going to be the "catch all of everything" over night, the networks won't handle it. No one can sit here with a straight face and say that it can.
Besides, if the internet IS the catch all, and it's worth that much to you, and it's taking the place of everything else, its only natural that the model and pricing of things will shift with it as well. People have to stop looking at the internet as the next ticket to no-cost everything; it's not.
Your alternative connection, by the way, will most likely see a cap as well soon. AT&T is talking about it, (#1 provider right now) as is Frontier and their 5gb cap, just about every cable company, cellular company, etc. Verizon WILL follow suit as well.
In case people haven't noticed, the economy is in the shitter right now, MAJORLY in the shitter. Along with that comes tightening of the belts. Be glad they are still rolling out upgrades to the plant as it is in the 'can't-borrow' economy these days.
Really people, it's time to wake up and smell the homeless... they're in your own back yard.. there is much more to life than cheap internet.. however, the crap out there that is causing problems is also going to cause companies everywhere to tighten their belts at the same time.. and that means it will affect you in every way. | |

| said by ztmike:But why the upgrade in speeds when Comcast will be imposing a cap next month? Restated: the only thing slowing you down from using more bandwidth every month is the raw speed of the link that you're using to download?
There are lots of people for which this service works incredibly well, myself included.

The download speed is downright magical when it comes to grabbing ISOs, like the Trixbox and PBX In a Flash images I grabbed a couple weeks ago. The 5mbps upload is also a huge bonus.
My usage did go up since I signed up for the service in June, largely due to me downloading things simply for the wow-factor of 50mbps, but it's still well below that 250GB cap:

| Not Just the Comcast Cost Another cost, even though it is a onetime cost, is the home network upgrade.
For exapmle, running on a Linksys WRT54G, the max wireless speed is well below 50Mbps, probably more like 20Mbps or so. Also not sure what the maximum WAN port speed is but I would guess it is below 50Mbps.
So anyone upgrading to this new speed may have to make a bunch of hardware changes to their router and wireless cards to take advantage of the 50Mbps tier. -- The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. | |

 | | 50mbps, SURE! $150, nah. I'd love to see the 50mbps come to my area. However, at a ripe $150 it is not nearly feasible. I would expect a connection with such a high download rate to be counter balanced with some upload. 10:1 ratio? cmon, that is ridiculous. Right now I have 8/2 plan (4:1). I am plenty happy with it, and so it everyone else in the household. $150 connection deserves a little more than a 5mbps up...
just my 2 cents.
I hope by the end of 2010 when the this should be completely rolled out that the price of this will drop dramatically. At that time I'll reconsider the service. I'd probably wait a while before going all out, see how the Comcast DOCSIS 3.0 provided modems turn out, how personal bought ones are...

talking about UP/Down ratio's, you want to think yourself lucky at 10:1 ,you might try thinking about the real world outside your backdoor.
look at the likes of the UK Virgin Media cable the only UK wide cable operator and their upcoming 34:1 ratio, thats right 50Mbit/s down and an insulting 1.5Mbit upload rate on the new Docsis3 plan and we have the config file their using in the trial/pre-rollout to prove it too.
The UK consumer CANT just go out and buy and plug-in any 3rd party off the shelf DOCSIS* kit that comes to market, its against the Virgin Media T&C.
they have no other choice but to rent every single bit of kit off vm, no exceptions.
and that kit is crap, you cant even have or purchase from VM DVB-C PC cards and valid subscriptions to use in your PC LAN kit to re-broadcast your subscribed transport streams, think your hard done by now?
as for the DS3 bonding upload/stream points, your forgetting docsis3 is based on docsis2.0B and that gives you a total of around 30Mbit/s upstream per channel (maybe slightly less usable in your 6 Mhz part of the world, we in the Uk use 8Mhz) so your 5Mbit upload is perfectly fine, even for the old docsis1.1 you can have at least 10 Mbit/s upload after taking in to consideration your US freqs and settings overhead.... | |

| reconsider price. The closest comparison is Verizon. If docsis 1.0-2.0 is any indication of the kind of shared infrastructure that varies the last mile bandwidth of cablemodems $150 is sort of out of line when compared to a FTTP connection of similar bandwdith and priced at least $10-60 less than Comcast's proposed tier price. I'm thinking that this will have to get to around $100 some how, some way, as the market will not pay $150 for internet, especially most residential customers **unless the idea is to cancel your cable tv subscriptions and get OTA digital broadcast tv, and supplement with p2p/internet delivered content** | |

 | | Decoupling Speed and Bandwidth I'd like to be able to purchase speed and bandwidth "separately". I might want As Fast As I Can Go but be quite content to have 50 GB on tap each month.
Even better would be automatic rollover: you know, $20 for the first $50GB and $5 for each of the next $10 GB but if I hit $15, I am automatically moved to the next bandwidth tier (say, $35 for the first 120 GB). Or whatever. | |
