Comcast Plans 100Mbit Internet Speed for Customers
Comcast Corporation says it is currently on track to offer speeds of over 100Mbps to 20 percent of its customers by the end of 2008. By the end of 2010, they hope to expand the product to most markets in the United States. Comcast Senior Vice President of Investor Relations, Marla Dooner, calls the speed 'very competitive' with Verizon FiOS.
Comast is the United State's second largest ISP and the largest cable television provider. Among cable operators, Comcast has been the most aggressive in deploying a wideband technology known as Docsis 3.0 in response to user demand for high definition video.

100mbs aint so good when you can only download so many bites in a certain period of time. I read a week or so ago that Comcast decided to put a cap on download amounts because people were downloading more than Comcast thought they should be so now there is new policy.
I think I'm just going to start web hosting and grab a set of T1's or something :)
Being all that uses is upload, I'll have plenty of download, and garunteed, not this burst crap, and lines down.
*shove it comcast, you can sell any speed you want, burst numbers don't mean jack when you limit us*
still that would be lovely for online gaming! :)
i myself wonder how much it will cost?
Even 1.5mbps DSL is plenty more than fast enough for any online game.
Verizon offers better service and customer service regardless of what speeds Comcast promises.
but true people often do have that misconception.
so does anyone know what this dl size limit will be and if they will be implementing it at all?
Think of all the illegally traded software you could download using torrents...
the people that are actually going to use the speed wouldn't be able to and most people living in an urban area will most likely be capped off at everything to speeds of uploading at 30 kbps..
