However, the earlier thread seems to have sprung back to life again.

Maybe if an Administrator reads this s/he can close "Xfinity Now" to new posts.

Or close both - they have served their purpose.

The Download speed is still 100k (measured at 113k just now)

Both are (and were) adequate for my needs - which includes streaming TV

Thanks, so according to the advertisement, one would expect 200Mbs vs the current 100Mbs. Anyway, in reality it doesn't matter. Just interesting to see how many of these companies are trying to get us to "feel better" about the price we are paying for internet.

No, they have only said they'd double the Upload speed (which they have)

The (more important) Download speed will remain at 100k for the basic NOW
