said by tiger72:250GB cap hit in ~ 5 hours? That's if people do that much downloading. If someone switches from the 12/2 tier to 100/25 and does the same amount of downloading and they weren't hitting the cap on 12/2, they won't hit it on 100/25. | |

Re: I want that 100/25 Mbps tierI feel that it's completely fair to charge a high volume user a higher premium to use a network. People that use that much bandwidth stress networks and cause a poorer experience for everyone. | |

Re: I want that 100/25 Mbps tier250 GB = high volume? You realize that this is a 100 mbit/s account? That is about 5 hours of sustained use.
Giving people a 100mbit/s account with only 250 GB's is a big slap in the fucking face. Its a little like false advertisement.
If comcast can't offer a monthly service that will work for more than 5 hours of sustained use , who's fault do you think that is? the customer? Just because you don't mind bending over and taking it doesn't mean I like it. For many consumers the cable company is a Monopoly over their internet service ( me included). | |

I guess that also means that cell phone companies that offer 50 minute packages are false advertising as well.

Funny how caps from my local cable company are no longer technically necessary when they compete with fiber ( COX ) That old bandwidth is a "fossil fuel" argument is lame. | |

Re: I want that 100/25 Mbps tierThere's something called "it's getting old".. and it doesn't need to be beat into the ground.
And, if Comcast is known for their 250gb cap.. then what are these ISPs that cap at 5GB or some that believe even less is needed?
Get over it already... there are places to talk about that.. the world doesn't need to revolve around a cap that about 99% of people never hit.
I suppose EVERY single Verizon post needs to have their horrible billing system discussed as well even if the story is about anything but? Think about it... it's old already. | |

I suppose EVERY single Verizon post needs to have their horrible billing system discussed as well even if the story is about anything but? Think about it... it's old already. The place to talk about that is here. A broadband forum. It just so happens that Comcast is also the largest broadband ISP, and thus likely affects more users here on this forum than just about any other ISP. And, although you're looking for an anti-Comcast conspiracy, you'll find users continue to make these EXACT SAME comments about wireless operators plans also. See: TMO HSPA+, ATT LTE, and VZW LTE posts for reference. | |

Re: I want that 100/25 Mbps tier.. and guess what? It doesn't matter WHERE they discuss what... the fact is that there is a topic, and people always have to run off to what's been discussed into the ground. If a new topic is posted, I could care less if it's VZ, TWC, ATT, anything, it gets old when someone has to come in and say the same, broken-record, comment that they always do
They could say "There was a DNS outage" and someone would have to post "What about the caps?".. There could be a "TV Anywhere is now available to connections outside of Comcast's" and someone would post "what about the caps"...
It gets old - and if you've ever posted on FB, ANY time a group-profile post something, like American Idol posted a behind the scenes tour, the entire thread turned into an argument about anything and everything..
I dunno, maybe I'm just too old fashion, but its kind of nice to stick to the topics. | |

Re: I want that 100/25 Mbps tierLast I checked, the topic in this thread is about the implication of using that higher speed to reach the cap quicker.
The news post doesn't reference caps, but this thread does. If you're against discussing it, feel free to ignore the discussion thread. | |

Looking good!20/4 is the perfect compromise in my opinion, twice the upload of 12/2 for 10 bucks more. And the 25 meg upload on the 100/25 tier indicates upstream channel bonding perhaps? edit-just saw upstream bonding mentioned in the article. Cool! | |

seriously, is there going to be a $25 economy tier? or cheaper? Having only 1M service you can almost guarantee the kids won't go over the 250G cap. Given DSL prices, I would hope they would offer a little more speed or less price for this economy tier. | |

I'd just like to take this opportunityTo extend a heartfelt "f*** you" to Time Warner Cable. These are speeds that my area would be getting had Comcast not left the Los Angeles area.
Instead we get Time Warner's famous "surgical" upgrades and botched consumption based billing "innovations".
Must be nice to have a cable company that's making progress. | |

I guess we got it..Been getting all kinds of xfinity branded ads and flyers for the last month or so, the latest pushing their Xfinity VOIP. Anyway, checking my modem reveals this:
It's been a while since I checked, the last time the speeds were 6600/1100. Not sure when the speed was increased..

Re: I guess we got it..Actually those provisional rates you are seeing are because of DOC 3.0 roll out. As Comcast rolled out DOC 3.0, they upgraded all 6/1 customers to 12/2 (13200/2200). | |

CorrectionNot all non-DOCSIS 3 markets can get 16/2. The fastest tier my market offers is 8/2. No DOCSIS3 here -- not even Blast!
I am seriously doubting my market will ever be upgraded. | |

Re: now, about this grandfathering....Probably means people who have the 22/5 will keep it, not get a free upgrade. | |
|

baby steps...Well, 100/25 isn't the best they can do, but it will probably encourage the 'other' cablecos (Cablevision, Time Warner can do better than 101/15 once this gets released) with 100mbit tiers to increase the upstream speeds. I am annoyed that Verizon fios is now hocking 15/5 instead of 25/15 or 25/25 and the SAME price.. hence a PRICE INCREASE in effect throwing an oil slick down on what competition there may have been in the most competitive overlapping footprints. | |
