Comcast has boosted its "Business Class" Internet access speed from 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream, to 16 Mbps and 1 Mbps, respectively. The increase, offered in all Comcast markets, comes at no extra cost. Prices for the MSO's Business Class Internet service range from $59 to $89 per month.
Unmanaged bandwidth is getting cheaper and faster all the time, despite the fears some have had that a strong duopoly in the U.S. market would inhibit such moves. The task now remains for providers of quality-assured bandwidth to make the case for why managed bandwidth is more important, has value, and is priced accordingly.
