I agree.

On the other side of the overpass, people can get Verizon since it is the older side of town. We live on the AT&T side...SO we have Comcast.

Comcast already has done something if you currently have Blast or Extreme internet you are getting a free speed upgrade. Blast 25MB to 50MB
Extreme 50MB to 105MB . Now this free speed upgrade seems limited to the Northeast part of the country and anywhere where FIOS is at also.

Yeah, I live outside of Oak Ridge, TN and have the 25(advertised as 30Mbps with boost) through comcast. They said they know nothing of a free upgrade to 50 for our area, so I am assuming it is due to no FioS here. Shameful imo.

Don't forget, every time they introduce a new service, there's an opportunity to change the terms of service and conditions. Any guesses about this new wonder-service and "The Government will record and spy on your every keypress while using this service. All your base are belong to us." terms?
