Please note; if you have your Internet through Comcast, your cable-modem fee is about to raise to $5.00. Multichannel news reports that this nationwide increase will occur some time this fall. This new fee is a 66% increase over the old, $3.
The new cost isn't exactly bank-breaking, but it will offer up a significant amount of money for the carrier. Comcast claims these new funds are needed in order to make up for the costs of its new DOCSIS 3.0 service. They stated that their costs for new equipment were going to increase by 167% over the next two years.
What do you think; sensible decision made to cover necessary expenses, or nickle-and-diming? I suppose it'll all depend on whether or not DOCSIS 3.0 turns out to be worth it.Posted on Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:20:45 CDT | by Robert Evans
