"Wideband"

Wideband download, anemic upload. When are we going to see upload speeds that are significantly more than 10% of the download rate?!

When broadband providers start using different physical plant options than what they use now.

Most of the pre-certification stuff out there only has the upload capability of the older version of DOCSIS, without channel bonding- I assume this is the same

Ordered

I've ordered the new package, I will have it installed on Sunday. New modem and an installation charge

also I asked about the current tiers they are being upgraded to 10 and 12 meg. No time frame on that though.

AWESOME man. Please keep us informed in the comcast forum as to how it goes.
150 is steep but 5 bucks a day for those speeds is pretty reasonable I guess. Still..hopefully it will come down to more mainstream prices.

GL with the install. and congrats!

Yes, you must post something about it on the Comcast forum once you get it installed. Include pictures of the modem please.

I pay $61.95 for Optimum Online BOOST 30/5 service. $150 for 5mbit upload? You HAVE to be kidding.

Don't hold your breath!
Anemic upload on rez packages is what is keeping biz on overpriced lucrative biz packages.
