Comcast Delivers Extreme 50 50Mbps/10Mbps Service

Well... it's not cheap at $142/mo, but that's not on top of the existing $65/mo so it's still a doubling of the price, but it's 50Mbps down and 10Mbps up. That's impressive. It certainly puts the snap in all the stuff I have at home... and even when I'm not at home - being able to get home with a 10Mbps response is pretty nice. I dare say it's better than most of the download speeds I'm getting where I might be plugged in.

The trick will be getting Liza to agree to it. Yeah... she's not a fan of Comcast, and I have to say they haven't proven themselves to be a great company, but they have the best internet service in the region, and I need that connectivity, so I've got to pay the man.

I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering this tonight. I know there's a new cable modem involved to get the DOCSIS 3.0 speeds, but that's OK. I'm guessing they'll have someone come out and install it, but I'd rather they send it to me and I call them on a weekend when I install it myself. But we'll see.
