Comcast Won't Give New Speed Boost To Internet Users Who Don't Buy TV Service (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Last week, Comcast announced speed increases for customers in Houston and the Oregon/SW Washington areas. The announcement headlines were "Comcast increases Internet speeds for some video customers." Customers with 60Mbps Internet download speeds are being upped to 150Mbps; 150Mbps subscribers are going to 250Mbps; and 250Mbps subscribers are getting a raise to 400Mbps or 1Gbps. Comcast says speed increases will kick in automatically without raising the customers' monthly bills -- but only if they subscribe to certain bundles that include both Internet and TV service.
"Cord cutters are not invited to the [speed increase] party," the Houston Chronicle wrote. "Only those who bundle Internet with cable television and other services... will see their speeds go up at no extra charge." Presumably, Internet-only customers can get the new speeds by paying more or by bundling their Internet subscriptions with video.

If you honestly think that the Cheap Bastards at Comcast have invested enough cash into that network to handle their entire customer base all of the sudden going to 1GBPS, I'll have x2 of what you are drinking! ;-P

It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Ajit must be loving his 10 pieces of silver. Hope it was worth it for the price of your soul.
I'm not sure if you are quoting scripture or not but Judis got 30 pieces of silver. But if the devil paid 10 pieces of silver for Ajit soul he got taken. I wouldn't have gone more than 2 pieces.
I read at +2. If your post doesn't reach that level I will not see or respond to it.
Your analogy is so defective it makes Comcast look almost reasonable.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
Google fiber is so shitty that they only give me 1gbps and if I want to cancel I can do it with out talking to anyone what kind of shit is that, and to top it off when my self installation didn't go like planed they gave me 50.00 off of my bill what the fuck. worst service ever. I think I should switch to comcast. LOL
