Arrow Comcast Ups Broadband Speed, For a Price

Quote:
The nation’s largest cable operator, Comcast Corp., June 9 said it would begin implementing so-called “wideband” Internet service for select customers in the Washington D.C. metro area.

The Philadelphia-based cable operator said it would offer two residential wideband options, including “Extreme 50” that allows for 50Mbps of download speed and 10Mbps of uploading speed for $99.95 per month. The “Ultra” option offers 22Mbps and 5 Mbps of download and upload speeds, respectively, for $62.95 per month.

Comcast said it would also automatically increase broadband speeds for most existing customers with the “Performance” tier (12Mbps download, 2Mbps upload) and “Performance Plus”, which offers 16Mbps download and 2Mbps upload.

The speed increase is automatic. There will be no extra charge for the new speed. Keep in mind that "Docsis 3.0" and wideband are the same thing. Also keep in mind that new modem will eventually come but the Docsis 2.0 modems cant reach speeds upto 26 Mbps so you are currently convered... I wouldn't know what to do with 50 megabits...

Comcast upgraded me to DOCSIS 3.0 for free. My speeds average at 31.467Mbps down and 7.034Mbps up everyday at no additional cost.
