Comcast DOCSIS 3.0 Hits Delaware
65% of markets to see upgrade by year's end...
by Karl Bode Thursday 05-Mar-2009 tags: business · bandwidth · cable · Comcast
Earlier this week Comcast announced that the cable giant had delivered faster DOCSIS 3.0 speeds on the Bay Area (or at least part of it). Apparently the company has also upgraded their New Castle, Delaware market this week as well. Interested users should be tracking this thread in our Comcast market, where upcoming launch market information usually leaks early, and new market launches are quickly announced by customers in those areas. You can also plug your zip code into this new Comcast website, where they're showing off a pretty funny ad about the new speeds.

Does your area have fios? if not, you're NOT a competitive area!

Fios 20/20, 50/20
Comcast 22/5, 50/10
20/20 vs 22/5
62.95 vs 64.95
Fios no caps
Comcast caps, limited uses.

Fios wins
comcast loses

He did say "somewhat match". He didn't say anything about which one was better.

The billing are awful
slower speed horrible support
major ripoff
require a modem, cost 64.00
FIOS is best... fast and cost more in the long run but better value
I don't have att anymore, I use to.

Don't forget that only 40-50 percent of comcast user will be upgraded to 12/2,16/2,22/5 while the rest is stuck on 6/1, 8/2
by the end of this year
In area that don't compete with comcast such as at&t upgrade is a pipedream
comcast does not upgrade state that don't have fios
I think its ridiculous that cc only does this to compete otherwise everyone would be stuck on crap 6/1
Many user do not have 8/2 because it cost too much already

In either case 12/2 or 16/2 give user the ability to download nearly twice as much and hit their monthly cap in half the time it take them on regular tier
Good luck to user who are shutoff due to going over the cap repeadedly oh well that's business as usual

Re: Title sounds like...

Did you even read what Karl wrote?

Comcast says 65% of all homes by end of this year. The rest in 2010.

How do you think that those areas got to 6/1 8/1?
previous Comcast upgrades most likely.
It's not possible to upgrade everyone overnight, but each area will be upgraded ASAP.

So called funny ad

"You can also plug your zip code into this new Comcast website, where they're showing off a pretty funny ad about the new speeds."

yeah but that rabbit would have stopped a A LONG time before then because he would have hit his cap. At least with Charter when you get the 60 Meg speed there's no cap.

@comcast.net

where's my 12Mbit speeds????

Grr.. It's kind of frustrating to see Comcast talking about bringing DOCSIS 3.0 to more cities when many of us in cities that already have DOCSIS 3.0 still haven't seen any benefits. I'm in the Atlanta area and so far it seems like only one small area has seen the higher speeds that the DOCSIS upgrade is supposed to bring. The rest of us are still waiting for any sort of improvement.

It's especially frustrating since the one person that reported higher speeds is over in Roswell which is only a few miles from where I am. Yet my connection remains at the same level.

What's even more frustrating is that FIOS will not be available to the majority in the next few years
You see FIOS some had it for 4 years and I just got it
Jesus the speed is marginally faster but costly and you gotta burn money to enjoy it too

1/2 of Delaware ...

When you hear of any upgrade for Delaware it's for Kent county and above.ALWAYS zzz . Fios is everywhere around the surrounding areas also but they still haven't deployed in Good ol' Seaford(or anywhere on RT 13).

Can't complain too much though, i get my subscribed speeds here,low latency .but these days 6/1 and 8/2 are very limited options.

i wish

utah had utopia. only 2 cities have it. that's about 5 square miles. the other 10 cities went bankrupt trying to build it. the other 5000 cities aren't even on the list to build.

i bet it won't be long before everybody has a cap. with the invention of the new set top boxes that require internet for your pay per view pleasure. and those huge a** files because movies are high def now instead of standard def. and let's not forget. we don't have a job to pay for the service anymore so those of you luckys that still have a job but with greatly reduced hours. UUUU get to pay more because your the only one keeping the coffers flowing.

and someone please explain this theory behind throttling. it's bullsh** to have to spend 10 hours to transfer a file when it used to take 10 minutes. it don't discourage me from doing what i want. so why make me tie up the system longer.

i see qwest now offers 7/1. haven't heard anything about caps or throttling. maybe i should switch????
