pacmantravis Posted July 11, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Im liking it just fine. Theyre basic plan is faster than verizon. More expensive tho. However I always get advertised speeds. Even tho they say 4Mbs down, its really 4.4. They dont tell you because you most likely wont see that extra .4 (overhead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamaroZ Posted July 12, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Comcast is going to have a upgrade very soon i've heard 10+Mb and 8Mb the reason they are waiting is because they have some area's that need to be upgraded which is better than just giving everyone's modem's higher cap's and overloading nodes like most ISP's do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted July 12, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 There is supposed to be a 3rd tier, but it's not mentioned in the article. I'm hoping that it's 16000/2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted July 12, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Im pretty sure it's going to be 10Mbps/1Mbps. 16Mbps/2Mbps were FIOS is at so they can compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for at least 10000/1000, But it seems that it's not planned as of yet. Might change soon though.

netmasta Posted July 13, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 If you read my other post that I copied from the Comcast forums, it seems like if you have "limited basic" or no cable tv, there are 3 tiers, 4Mb, 6Mb & 8Mb. If you have the regular "expanded basic" or whatever they call it where you live, 4Mb won't be available. I'm sure gonna miss 4Mb.....

MYRIAGON Posted July 13, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I wonder if they will still offer a business Pkg.? Cuz they have one now at 7Mbps For $160.00 a month. WOW! It seems they would take that to at least 9 or 10Mbps. Hard to tell...... Like I said in another thread though, I would gladly keep the 6Mbps if they would would give me 1.5 to 2Mbps upstream, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted July 13, 2005 CID Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 They probably will. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. I just guessing, but small buisness' probably care more about reliability than speed. I also don't think they announce business speed upgrades as much as do, consumer ones.
