"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.

Don't get me wrong you couldn't pay me to go back to a 56 k connection, but I don't pay the premium price to go to the 20 mb speed that I could now. 10/2 is fine for me

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.

hey if it werent for an open router, Dippy wouldn't have access ;-)
I like my 10/2 speed just fine,,,,but I agree with you, it would be nice to have a faster speed.
