Comcast Offers Super High-Speed Internet “Wideband”
Written by admin on April 6th, 2008 in Gadgets and Devices.
Bandwidth hungry residents of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, can now gorge themselves on Comcast’s new 50 Megabit service. Available at a crazy $150 per month, the “wideband” service will eventually offer speeds of 160Mbps.
The Reuters article offers us some suggestions for the target customer. Alongside businesses it mentions, charmingly, “movie download fans”. Given Comcast’s history of throttling BitTorrent, it’s hard to see where these “download fans” will actually be getting their movies, but theoretically, a high-def film can be pulled down the pipes in a mere ten minutes. Bye Bye Cable TV.
