Comcast increasing internet speeds to 3 tiers

[andy_horton]

At least here in GA, as of 12-19, 10Mbps down goes to 25Mbps, 3 up, performance already increased to 60Mbps down, 5 up, blast to 100Mbps down, 10 up. Currently no increase in fees... (we all know that will change at some point.) Also interesting to note no rate increases, normally published on Nov bill to go into effect Jan..Wondering how much eventually will go up & when?!

UPDATE--New bill reflects $5.00 increase in Performance speeds in this area from $55.95 to $60.95.
Gateway rental from $10-$11
Broadcast tv fee from $6.75-$7.75
Regional sports fee from $5-$6.75
Preferred w/Starz and Blast (new speed 100Mbps down effective Dec 19) from $109.99-$114.99 UNLESS you are on ecobill and autopay with 2 yr min agreement.
Southern region & I know other areas are different in price.
Bottom line, price increases

Bottom line, price increases

Between product re-structuring and pricing changes, Comcast usually rewards its customers with at least one price hop per year. My local telco offers a price for life plan (banking on the idea that cost/Mbps will always go down).

Where I live Comcast offers four tiers:

"up to" 55Mbps $66.95
"up to" 100Mbps $81.95
"up to" 200Mbps $96.95
"up to" 250Mbps $149.95

Must be no competition since I pay $70 for 1g but we have Charter and Uverse in our Zip Code ( neither are available to me but Comcast does not know that).

It makes a huge difference.

I got 1 Gig through att for $80

500 meg through wow for $60

150 meg through Comcast as part of my bundle.

Kind of sad to see Comcast not offer a gig in my area yet.
