U-Verse Hitting Jacksonville This Week? - Florida competition heats up between Comcast, Verizon & AT&TFlorida competition heats up between Comcast, Verizon & AT&T 06:26PM Monday Aug 25 2008 by Karl Bode tags: competition · business · bandwidth · cable · AT&T U-Verse In line with forum rumors from last fall, a Comcast insider tells me that AT&T should be announcing the launch of U-Verse in the Jacksonville market sometime this week. Comcast has a vested interest in keeping an eye on U-Verse launches, as they plan to aim pre-certification 50Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 at markets in Florida that see FiOS competition (Sarasota remains in testing phase), and their 16Mbps "Blast!" tier at markets where 10Mbps U-Verse has launched. Comcast has also created an internal bounty program for spotting U-Verse launches where customers are paid $100 for spotting early U-Verse launch markets. |
