Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS

Posted by timothy on from the market-laws-are-like-physical-laws dept.

jfruh writes "Comcast customers who dream of superfast download speeds drooled when they heard the company would be offering 305 Mbps service. There's only one catch: the high speeds are only available in markets where the cable giant is going head-to-head with Verizon's FiOS service. It seems that competition really does improve service quality when it comes to ISPs."

    How do they do what? Power and water companies give me average download speed ratings? Also overselling doesn't change that network utilization still fluctuates all through the day.
