LoKz Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Comcast offers 50 Mbps Internet, but it won't come cheap By Michael Hatamoto, BetaNewsApril 3, 2008, 2:12 PMComcast will begin offering a new "extreme high-speed" Internet connection in the Minnesota Twin Cities region today, with nationwide rollout expected by 2010. The new Internet service will cost $150 per month and will offer 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps in upload speeds.The new high-speed Internet is part of Comcast's rollout of the DOCSIS 3.0 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications) cable broadband standard, which was first introduced during the Consumers Electronics Show last January. Analysts first believed the service would launch in areas where AT&T U-Verse and Verizon FiOS have taken hold, but Comcast chose to deploy it in an area where consumers don't have extremely fast Internet connections. Like Comcast's new offering, Verizon FiOS connection can offer speeds up to 50 Mbps.Theoretically, these extreme speeds will allow users to download 4GB high-definition movies in 10 minutes. However, the service provider would also need to be cable of delivering content at such speeds...Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofre Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Soon I will get glasfibre connection. 100 mbps up and down.And only 35 euros per month.---------------------------------------------That is exactly my connection and same price I have. No limit time on Net , but downloads are limited to 20GB /month or I have to pay 1,5 Euros by each 1 GB after having reached 20GB.Even so, it could be less expensive. Not everybody can pay that money and we all need a fast broadband.---------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
