Will it be that the word "customers" means two houses owned by Comcast executives?
Will the soon to be announced prices be 50x the Google fiber price and then used as a justification that "customers just don't want fast internets"?
Or, and I know this is shocking, will Comcast provide a quality service and support system?
I strongly dislike Comcast but their pricing isn't incredibly unfair.
Plus according to this article, they're about to bump my speeds by 50% without making me pay anything.
The question is, will Netflix still be throttled at those speeds? Will torrents? Because even now people supposedly have 50Mbps, which is more than enough for Netflix which only requires 3Mbps for HD streaming, yet somewhow when they play Netflix it often works under <1Mbps. Use a VPN and it magically starts working perfectly again. Strange, huh?
So yeah, before anyone gets too excited about this, let's wait and see how it actually works, and whether it will actually arrive soon, or it's just another "fiber to the press release" to keep people cheering for Comcast for the next 3 years until they actually start deploying it.
They may be trying to compete with AT&T rather than Google Fiber.
