Comcast: "Starting today, new and existing customers can take advantage of the following speed increases:
Connect: 75 Mbps to 150 Mbps,
Connect More: 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps,
Fast: 400 Mbps to 500 Mbps,
Xfinity Prepaid: 50 Mbps to 200 Mbps"

“at no additional cost” - my bill went up nearly 25% in January. Their generosity is underwhelming.
ah yes, faster speeds so we can run out of the 1.2 TB / month quota faster
data caps on fiber should be illegal
who even gets their 1.2 Gbps plan when you can run out of data for the whole month in a bit over 2 hours?
Data caps on any fixed location internet service should be illegal.
Overselling then blocking customers from being able to use what they paid for is fraud.
Meanwhile no mention about their limited upload speeds.
I’m really just watching out for any upload speed increases. At this point, I don’t care about download speed increases, I just want upload speeds to increase. The only mention of it in that article is their plans to implement DOCSIS 4.0 later this year, which should increase upstream and downstream capacity. However, still no mention of how long it may take to be fully implemented.
After several decades of exclusive rights, Comcast finally lost their legal monopoly in my town, and holy shit things are so much better. I’m paying $90 for 10gbs(!) fiber through a local provider when my parents back home are paying $30 more than that for 50mbs through Comcast.
