That's enterprise level speed. Completely unnecessary for residential use, but very valuable for business use. I doubt Comcast would even install it in a home.

Their prices for normal speed and bandwidth are outrageous enough already, though.

Wonder if gamers like my grandsons will want that regardless of the price? jwirr Jul 2015 #5

Most likely, since they don't have a clue as to what they need. MineralMan Jul 2015 #6

Absolutely. I can't wait. They are going to learn about budgets or else. jwirr Jul 2015 #7
