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. |

Re: baby steps... Nobody wants to do price competition. Would much rather just ckmpeteon speed and features and drive the price upward as they go. It's good for shareholders. |

| Excuse me The 250GB in 5 hours is a load of crap.
I hardly do 25GB a month that is with Hulu and Itunes.
The only ones are left, are downloading psychopaths who deserve to have their cable cut and a trip to the library book section. As is read a book and get a life.
My actual use is less than 18GB a month |

Re: Price Why would i want dial up? once you got high speed internet, you will never go back to dial up. |

Re: I want that 100/25 Mbps tier said by Clever_Proxy:said by PhoenixDown:that would be great... now ... about those caps? Get a business connection - caps problem solved. I'm getting the feeling people are complaining for the sake of complaining. Sure, you supply the extra money for that business account. Who's complaining for the sake of complaining again? |

| cap Well, I set my computer to download the entire interwebz and hit 750gb last month.
I wonder if they are really terminating service in areas that have both Comcast and FiOS. |

Re: Comcap Yes because if you don't use X amount of bandwidth neither should I....
There is no reason other than stifling internet video that Comcast has a 250 GB cap. 100Mbit/s and a 250 GB cap (which is about 5 hours of saturated use) is embarrassing. |

(quite possible the 3rd dumbest post on DSLR * at least in the top 5 *)
I wish providers were forced to list saturated use time in all advertisements - 5 hours would probably shame them into changing that policy very quickly. |

Re: lol What are you talking about? the name hasn't changed from Comcast, The branding on the service is Xfinity, branding and company name are different from each other, just like the brand Orbit is from Wrigley |

Re: baby steps... said by tmc8080:...but it will probably encourage the 'other' cablecos (Cablevision, Time Warner can do better than 101/15 once this gets released) Whatever Comcast decides to do to the benefit of it's customers, won't motivate the other cable companies to do anything; as they all serve different areas. Even if they happen to be in the same town. It's not like a household that is served by Cablevision, can switch to Comcast or (shudder) Time Warner Cable if they're unhappy with the service.
There's no incentive to improve if there's no competition to worry about. |

Re: Comcap It is sad to see the Comcast babies defend their shitty ISP's shitty policies. Just because you're stuck with a terrible ISP and don't have any other options doesn't mean you have to go around fellating them on broadband forums out of jealousy of others who are fortunate enough to have decent ISPs with no bandwidth caps. |

Re: Excuse me So downloading linux distros, playing games, downloading games via Steam, getting music via iTunes streaming media and sharing my connection with others in my household who do the same things makes me a psychopath? |

I'm making an assumption, that you are not a comcast customer. If that is the case, why do you give a flying F^&$ ????? Oh, sorry I guess i just fellated comcast 
You're right, I should give comcast the boot and sign up for 1.5 meg dry loop dsl from qwest for the same price...
And while I'm bent over (For comcast) I may as well ask, which residential ISP allows unlimited data with no caps? I mean, truly unlimited?
How bout you prove your claims and saturate your time warner connection for a month solid (while giving them a2m) |

| 250GB cap = fail 100/25 should have at least 750GB cap. |
