The average person can't spend that much on internet, no matter how good it is. The article should read "This new service will leave almost 170,000 homes wishing they had the extra money to spend on it."[/citation]
$350/month is too much for a gigabit home connection? That's cheap by today's standards.
Business Comcast offers 100mb for that price, I'd pay that gladly. Fiber optic? yes please... anything to get something I can actually use in my area and get higher speed with less headaches. Pity AT&T is still blocking any fiber in the area (they don't even offer service), so its either Comcast, or I fork over several thousand a month for a few bonded T1s or something like that.
Not everyone needs gigabit internet...yet. I'd be happy with 50mb-100mb FOR NOW.

Why would anyone need more than 640k? Times change, services change. What if HD-TV is offered via the internet and you want to watch and download video at the same time? Maybe more than one person watch more than one program at a time? Home Videoconferencing take off somehow? Who knows? Offer some options and people might make something really cool with it.
I believe they said they offer other tiers of service, so something less but still awesome would be cool.
