The process appears to be local market driven. Whether or not one is offered a lower rate to stay with Comcast is about as predictable as where the little ball lands on a roulette wheel.

I've lived through the last couple of speed upgrades, and to be honest, I haven't really notices the change. Comcast seems to think what we want is speed. What I want is cheaper cost. Since they are offering 6mB speed for an extra $10, how about a $10 credit for opting for a slower speed. This is something I would jump for.
