comcast is trash

Funny "world first", when in Romania, you can get 10Gbps Internet pipe from 5 years now, at 10$/month.

country size isnt the issue, companies being greedy is.
says enough when your "consumer protection" is called better business bureau.

@Haile Selassie
while completely irrelevant (what tech is used), for 99.5% of users on this planet.

The BBB is a for profit company and has nothing to do with consumer protections.

Meh, Sweden had 40 Gbps in 2007... Well, at least one person did...

World's Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps

Seems like what we think as a fast broadband connection is no longer fast enough... A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been using a 40 Gbps internet connection! Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Peter Löthberg - a Guru when it comes to matters of the internet - who is...

Hi,
Depends if the company in question is a member of the BBB
If they are a customer they can use the BBB to mitigate issues just as easy as hitting the companies twitter or facebook accounts so it's just another option.

 

[InVasMani]

What is it gonna cost?

Who...is probably a better question.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Like someone else alluded to, at 10Gb you'll hit their data cap in what 15 minutes or so. The only upside to this is the symmetrical part. It's about time cable sees some upload speed increases. My 400mbps down is just fine, it's the 24mbps upload that hurts.

They both are evil monsters! I have Spectrum which is in the same category. At least they don't threaten us with data caps like Comcast. They just make me pay $10/mo more every year I have their service for the pleasure of being a loyal customer who pays on-time, all the time.

They never enforced them on us, you could check their and it will take you the needed details and we went over many times. I guess they only do it in places were they can get away with it.

alot of reading comprehension issues in this thread.

That's why I said "Other news".....

Reading comprehension...

Its an off topic post.

Oh Crapcast at it again claiming to be able to do something then failing miserably when it comes time to deliver what you're paying for

it's about time the U.S did away with coax and got on the FTTH bandwagon like the rest of the world

What is the upload speed?

Symmetrical. That was in the post title.

My bad, totally missed that.

It's the internet, everyone has "I failed to read" day lol.

I guess the typical copper cabling for home networking is obsolete now. Time to pull fiber and you can no longer say that Cat6a is future proof! Wireless at 25gbps Nope - doesn't exist!

CAT6A isn't obsolete it's quite capable of running 10Gbps upto 100 mtrs

 

[SAL9000]

I'm referring to Init7 offering 25Gbps in Switzerland. I should have been more precise.
Cat6a isn't rated for those speeds. Category 8 is but only to 30 meters but why bother with copper anymore, fiber is far easier to terminate these days. It's too little too late in my opinion. Time to move on from copper.

Ah this aged well. Not only do I already pay more than I should, I cant get those speeds out here Got this in my mail this AM.

The empire of greed strikes back! I think it's well past the time for our government to step in and break up these cable monopolies. If we could only kick all those lobbyists out that keep our politicians looking the other way.
