| pointless male appendage waving The number of consumers willing to pay $300/mo for an internet connection is miniscule. I'm not certain what Verizon and Comcast accomplish here, other than one upping each other, and grabbing the 0.00001% of customers willing to pay such prices.
Can Comcast's network even deliver these speeds? DOCSIS 3.0 with eight bonded channels tops out at a little over 300mbit/s of usable bandwidth. What good is paying for this tier of service if you can only access full speed at 4am, and probably not even then? |

Ypsilanti, MI | It was my impression that the Comcast 305 service will involve fiber to the home, not DOCSIS over coax. |

| In that instance, one wonders if they'll charge the thousands of dollars in build out fees that new MAE customers get hit with? If they don't, it's not hard to imagine a lot of high paying, ticked off business customers knocking on their door.
Anyway, where'd you hear that? The DSLR article from the day other mentions upstream channel bonding, that would imply DOCSIS delivery, though they may not know for sure either. |

Ypsilanti, MI | I don't remember what article I read it in, but it mentioned something like a $500 installation fee, and you have to be within a certain distance of existing, splice-able fiber. |

It will require an 8x4 channel bonding modem. I am sure it will be rental modems only. |

Based on this URL it says FTTH using Metro-E based services instead of PON.
