Last time we spoke about the giant internet provider Comcast is, we were showing you how the FCC rules against Comcast constraining policies regarding Internet access and downloads. Today we see Comcast in a totally different light. It has announced that it will begin to deploy it’s DOCSIS 3.0 in residential homes and businesses in New England, the Boston Metropolitan region and southern New Hampshire. Philadelphia, New Jersey and the Twin cites are also included.

Comcast introduced new speed tiers for their high-speed internet service and doubled speeds for no apparent charge.

Here are the new plans and prices:

• Extreme 50 : offering up to 50 Mbps of downstream speed and up to 10 Mbps of upstream speed at $139.95/month. (new)
• Ultra : offering up to 22 Mbps of downstream speed and up to 5 Mbps of upstream speed at $62.95/month. (new)
• Performance Plus : offering download speeds to up to 16 Mbps and up to 2 Mbps of upload speed at $52.95/month. (existing plan that was upgraded)
• Performance : offering download speeds to up to 12 Mbps and up to 2 Mbps of upload speed at $42.95/month. (existing plan that was upgraded)

But let me get this right. Doesn’t more speed mean more downloads? What will happen with the 250GB bandwidth cap which Comcast has established after the FCC ruling?
