Comcast Provides Uncapped 1 Gb Service To 1 Customer -- of 22.4 Million (myajc.com)
McGruber writes: A month after it suffered a nationwide outage, Comcast announced that a Dunwoody, Georgia resident is the first customer in the nation to get Comcast's new $80/month uncapped 1-gigabit service. The service will only be available in select Atlanta neighborhoods. The company would not say how many people would be chosen for the initial roll out of its 1-gigabit service, but admitted the numbers would be small to 'ensure seamless deployment,' a spokesman said. The company claims that the service will roll out more broadly later in the year. Comcast has 22.4 million broadband customers.
... is that the mysterious resident in Comcast's CEO.
Remind me why competition among public utilities is bad again?
Because big telecom will need to cut prices to be competitive. And you know what happens then? All the C-level executives will have to cut back and get just the large Jacuzzi instead of the extra large Jacuzzi! That's one less hooker you can fit in there, you know. We can't have that, now can we?
My karma is in a nose dive
Well, first they had to provide tech support to one customer and put 22 million calls on hold.
Hey, don't knock Comcast. They offer every one of their customers speeds of up to 1Gbps.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
