Just got a letter from Comcast saying that, starting in January, I'm going to be getting 12 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up ($43/month package). Sweet! I've got to hand it to Comcast. They don't just rest on their laurels and pocket the money but actually seem to reinvest and bring new capabilities to customers. And given that FiOS isn't available in my area, I'm especially grateful that they're keeping up in the Internet access arms race!
