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

Or close both - they have served their purpose.

Actually we have heard back from you on your good experience with the service. It would be interesting to hear back from other's. This is such a good deal, I wonder why a lot of people are not grabbing it?

So what speeds are you getting now? And do you need the extra speed?

It is only the Upload speed that has increased (from 8k to 24k when last measured)

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
