Comcasts new Internet service 50 Mbps

What in the world are they yapping about?

This morning on the radio the broadcasters were going on and on about in Internet service. They kept saying Comcast, but what's so special about them? I mean it's not new.

For the first time, Comcast is offering residents and businesses one of the fastest broadband services available in the U.S. today: up to 50 Megabits per second (Mbps) downloads and 5 Mbps uploads.

Apparently, you'll be able to upload photos faster and download media faster, for example, you'll be able to download a 4 GB HD movie in about 10 minutes. Not bad, not bad at all. That would have come in handy when uploading 600MB movies for my editing course in college.

This is said to be the first installment of Comcasts own fiber-optic cable network. Well good grief, it is about time, but now how much is it going to cost me and if I decide not to switch will I get the older, slower service for cheaper you money hungry corporate thieves! Probably not, but a girl can wish can't she?
