To be precise, i don't know where I read it, but I believe we're going to start with a 300 GB cap, then every 100 GB over adds like 10 bucks to the bill or something close to that.

They aren't going through with that either.

If you are renting a modem, you can just go to the payment center and get a docsis 3.0 for free.

Then all you have to do is pull the power out and once you put it back in, try a speedtest to see.

That's what I thought, so it seems that I did not get the upgrade as I'm still stuck at 25mpbs and, I'm in Hartford one of their major markets.

If you are on a wired connection and that's your speed, it sounds like you only have performance which is 12-15 but goes up to around 25. If you had blast you would have been getting around 35 on the old and 50 on the new.

Yea, my comcast connection goes down, I keep thinking some one at the office tripped over the cable repeatedly.

Last time I heard, it's $10 for every 50GB over 300GB.
