For Comcast which has the worst ISP reputation it can be impressive. As long as they'll actually roll it out everywhere for prices below $100.


Which they won't. It's $400.


It seems unlikely that Comcast's 2GB/s service in Atlanta will be anywhere near $400.

> Comcast hasn’t discussed pricing for its new service. The company’s XFINITY Extreme 505 service costs $399.95 per month and offers speeds of about half a gigabit. However, competition from Google Fiber, which is planned to expand into Atlanta, may drive down prices in some areas. We’ve already seen this from AT&T, which offers gigabit fiber connections for $70 a month in Austin, Texas, where it competes with Google Fiber, but $110 in Cupertino, where it doesn’t.[1]

Then they should get lost together with their PR talk.
