hat's all great, but when people think of broadband, frequently they only think about download speeds, but upload speeds are just as important. Despite its better download performance, Comcast has always trailed AT&T in my area, offering 384 kbps upload vs. AT&T's 512 kbps.
In their press release, Mitch Bowling, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Comcast High-Speed Internet, Comcast Cable said:
"As the Internet and its functionality evolves, so will our services and offerings. We’ve made a number of complimentary speed increases over the last few years and we focused this latest increase on upstream speeds so our customers can take even better advantage of the ever-expanding amount of interactive applications the Internet has to offer."
Comcast will nearly triple the upload speed of its 6 Mbps / 384 Kbps Performance tier to 6 Mbps / 1 Mbps and more than double the upload speed of its 8 Mbps / 768 Kbps Performance Plus tier to 8 Mbps / 2 Mbps.
And without asking for more cash, either. Pretty good, but about that DOCSIS 3.0 rollout ... how about the SF Bay Area, Comcast?
