I’m sure the cap will be raised when this comes out people. It would be a disservice to keep the cap at 250GB with this type of speed.

Wow that is fast! I've definitely had some frustrating times with slow internet from Comcast... at times I think that it is a great company, but like many nationwide businesses it can have some weak spots. I was surfing the internet and I found this site where people can vent about poor customer service or products they received... it can get really funny. I would recommend you to check it out here.

Bell has been laying fiber for a while and are starting to offer it on the last mile in select regions!

I am in the Cable Industry and Cable Modems are my specialty, since 1999. I agree with many of you, it is simple to show the Max speeds with only a few modems, but wait until there are 200-400 modems on the same system.. Comcast has always been rated the worst of the CableTV companies, they are 3 years behind TimeWarner in Technology..They do not like to hire experienced people, because they want to be paid what they are worth..Then if they do bring people in they like to Fire people or release contracts every November.. So nobody wants to work for them..

I can demonstrate 1gbps connection inside my house on my e-net switch as well, doesn’t mean I will get that 1Gbps connection to Hulu or netflix or anything like that, until Comcast seriously upgrade their backbone and the entire internet upgrade the backbone system, having last mile 1Gbps service is no better than the current top tier 50mbps service available from the cable providers, it’s like having a Ferrari to pick up your mail, unless your mailman gets Ferrari’s as well, you still won’t get your mail any faster.

The states will never catch up until “we” learn that a majority of the laws that are placed onto the books to protect us are merely laws to protect the existing larger corporations in the market. The examples are too many to list but just realize that most laws today are vetted by the larger companies before they are placed up for a vote.

Pls! Do not complain! In Argentina we have less than 3MB broad band average! And the real connection is under 512! Enjoy Netflix and all the services you can!
In other words who needs 1gb connection at home?
