Comcast Offering MUCH Fa$ter Broadband Speeds

4:40AM Mark Wilson | Comcast has started offering a faster version of their cable internet service that is said to reach speeds of 50Mb per second (up from offerings around 6 and 8Mb/s), aimed at business users and the more intense residential crowd (including gamers). But for the $US 149.95/month price, we’d recommend also looking into a FiOS line as well if they’re available in your area. As of now, the service is only available in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis-St. Paul. But by 2008, it will be available to 20% of Comcast’s market. And by 2010, 100%. Oh, but by 2010, it would be nice if the price could be a bit lower, too. Comcast launches 50Mbps broadband… for $US 150 per month [ars technica] More »
