Comcast raises broadband speed bar

Yeah. One day I will have more even more bandwidth. That's cool because DSL did NOT work for me. My cable modem rocks!

Still surfing c|net and this article caught my eye: Comcast raises broadband speed bar.

Comcast is doubling the transfer speed of its broadband service, another move in the cable industry's campaign to fend off phone companies in the hunt for high-speed Internet customers.

The Philadelphia-based cable company said on Thursday it will boost its maximum download speed of its Comcast Online service from 1.5 megabits per second (mbps) to 3mbps, at no additional charge to customers. It said it will introduce the increases in 14 U.S. markets at first, but added that the "majority" of its broadband subscribers nationwide will be upgraded by the end of the year.
