Re: Good deal for 300 said by ITALIAN926: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.

1 edit | 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. |

kudos:1 | Still, the 300/75 tier is 200% better at only a 20% price increase. |

Red Bank NJ | It's also a good deal for FIOS customers as their 300/65mb service is currently priced at $205. In areas that overlap with comcast I would expect that price to drop almost 50%. |

Proof that the major costs are incurred in the physical network, not bandwidth. |

Though their 100/5 tier for $100 is a joke compared to Comcast's offerings in the speed range. Thought you do get a 500 GB cap vs 300 GB with Comcast. |

Those are the bundled prices - as the article says, standalone will be at least $15 more. |

$119/mo is what I pay in the Denver metro area for Extreme 50(/15). 
edit: (Which ends up being about 20-25Mbps DL over WiFi...) |

Agreed - I'm a former Blast customer that dropped back to Performance two years back simply because I couldn't use the extra bandwidth (due to limitations at the other end - not mine).
If you have wired gigabit from PC to cable/xDSL modem (including the router link to said modem), the slowest link in the chain will be at the target end; worse, if it's a video site, it will be significantly slower (due to QoS at their end - not yours). The only time I can use all the bandwidth I have *now* is to have the single connection running to a major source (such as Microsoft or Apple - both of whom partner with Akamai), and all too often this is neither practical or possible. |
