Title: Comcast is kicking it up to 50 MBs Post by: JackL on April 03, 2008, 08:31:09 PM http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i36yFNSNsK4z--hcXuM1iZp1tRMQD8VQ17Q80
"Comcast will also be offering up to 50 Mbps for downloading, or receiving, files. Uploading, or sending, files will be at up to 5 Mbps. The monthly $150 price is available only to residential customers; small businesses will have to pay $200 for a package that includes additional technical support and security software." I hear it will be at 100 MBs by years end. Soon their will be no reason to leave the house. ;) Title: Re: Comcast is kicking it up to 50 MBs Post by: Joedirt on April 03, 2008, 09:03:50 PM That is crazy fast Big Jack..... :o...you could be a world of war craft Hero!!....Fighting dragons crapping in socks.....What would you need that kind of speed for?

Haha, the only online game I have ever played is Quake2, and the last time was on 56k. Personally I move about a terabyte a week in HDTV video, mp3's and the latest and greatest software. 100 MBs would be nice, not necessary, but nice. I can't wait for my neighbor with the open router to upgrade. ;) Title: Re: Comcast is kicking it up to 50 MBs Post by: Ida_Mann on April 04, 2008, 07:34:05 AM That is crazy fast Big Jack..... :o...you could be a world of war craft Hero!!....Fighting dragons crapping in socks.....What would you need that kind of speed for?
