| Good deal for 300 300/75 for $20 more is a great deal when it's three times the amount, which is 200/50 more for just $20. |

| Good deal for who? They would love for everyone to jump on that tier, its free money, and especially when 99% of households NEVER, surpass more than like 30Mbps at one time. |

The sweet spot is the Performance tier at 25/5 for $49 and is more than enough for most households. Note I said MOST and not ALL households.

I would say that the average household uses more bandwidth when its freely available and they dont crush each other than many people suspect. Want to watch in HD...no problem, jr wants to pull that massive game patch while you are trying to watch a flick again NO PROBLEM.... you arent going to tick off mom or dad cause there is ample headroom and vice versa
My real issue will be can they deliver that top end speed to all those that sign up for it without negative impacts to their infrastructure... |

There's little incentive to pay more for speed that you can't use, but 300/75 for $119 is definitely a solid price for that speed, if you should want it when compared to 100/25 for $99.
And I'm assuming these prices are less in Double/Triple Plays for customers getting TV and/or phone service. |

That's what the caps are for, to protect the infrastructure.  |

I get it now. He works for AT&T.
When he was trolling Google Fiber I thought he was a cable company shill. But nope, cable companies can handle 300 Mbps with DOCSIS 3.0.
This guy must be employed by AT&T U-verse, because they cannot expand their speeds much farther than 30 Mbps. It would make sense to be constantly damage controlling fast Internet speeds whether it's fiber optics or DOCSIS 3.0 cable because he has to help keep a dead-end product like U-verse alive. |

Still, the 300/75 tier is 200% better at only a 20% price increase. |

I would like to know where you got 99% of households only using up to 30Mbps at any one time. I see the rise of cloud services making super fast broadband a necessity. Look at why Google is trying to deliver 1Gbps to households. Online services have been on the increase year over year. |

I would rather have that 200/50 for 20$ |

| Performance moves to 25/5? 25/5 for $49. Yes, please. Would Time Warner in Plano/Frisco like to match this? We're a FiOS town too.
Look, I'm begging you guys.

Re: Good deal for 300 So you're the wait 'till I need it kind of person. That's fine, some of us like to live in the fast lane. |

I don't know what your deal is, but it's clear that you work in some industry that would benefit from everyone having mediocre Internet connections. |

| Tempting I'm tempted, but I've just had way too much trouble with Comcast. My U-verse, although slower, has been rock solid in terms of reliability, only going out twice in the last two years, and one outage was due to my phone line needing to be cut to remove a tree after a tornado, and the second one was apparently due to some cable repairs they had to make, which caused a few intermittent outages.
If Comcast could promise me they wouldn't repeat my cable fiasco of a few years ago, I might bite, but I can't risk going through that again. If nothing else, my wife would kill me. |

1 edit | What's the BANDWIDTH CAP like? I'd rather have uncapped 5 Mbps than some piece of shit capped 300 Mbps connection. If Comcap applies their 300 GB bandwidth cap and overage charging scam to this tier then it will be a clear example of a polished turd.
At 300 Mbps speeds you can transfer over 95 terabytes of data in one month. So a 300 GB bandwidth cap on such a speed tier would be beyond ridiculous.
Can you imagine if you actually used this new speed tier to its full potential and Comcap applied their "$10 per 50 GB" bandwidth overage scam to you?
You'd be looking at almost $20,000 in overage fees in just one month. And if you maxed the upload speed as well you'd have a bill for over $25,000.
SCAM! |

Re: Good deal for 300 Not if it's capped like all of Comcap's other Internet plans.
I'll take Verizon's UNCAPPED FiOS offerings over Comcap any day! This new connection has the potential to rack up $20,000 in "overage fees" in just one month under Comcap's new 300 GB cap/$10 per 50 GB Internet overcharging scam. |
