Comcast last year launched their own wireless broadband service dubbed "High Speed 2 Go." The service, which piggybacks on the Clearwire/Sprint Mobile WiMax network, allows Comcast to offer the "quadruple play" for some fairly decent prices -- assuming you already subscribe to Comcast and were considering signing up for Mobile WiMax in your neck of the woods anyway. According to Comcast, today they launched the service in ten additional markets.
According to Comcast, they now offer the service in Baltimore, Richmond, Washington, D.C. and the Pennsylvania markets of Harrisburg, York, Scranton, Reading, Lancaster, State College and Lebanon. The pricing, if you missed it:
•
Comcast High-Speed 2go Metro service costs $54.99 for twelve months and comes with 12Mbps Comcast home broadband service and a Wi-Fi router. The service uses a Mobile WiMax data card that will obviously only work in areas where there's Comcast/Clearwire Mobile WiMax.
•
Comcast High-Speed 2go Nationwide service costs $69.99 ($92.95 thereafter) and also comes with Comcast 12Mbps home broadband service and a home Wi-Fi router. The service uses a dual-mode data card that allows users to float between Clearwire's Mobile WiMax network and Sprint's 3G EVDO network.
According to the Comcast High-Speed 2 Go
pricing website,
Metro users can instead bundle the wireless broadband service with 16 Mbps "Blast!," 22 Mbps "Ultra," or 50 Mbps "Extreme 50" broadband services for $65, $75, or $112 a month, respectively.
Nationwide users can bundle those same tiers with wireless broadband for $80, $90, or $127 a month, respectively. Those prices all jump substantially (in some cases almost double) after the 12 month introductory period.
