As it plunges billions of dollars into its main hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network to upgrade it to a 10 gigabit-per-second transom, Comcast has already welcomed the elite cadre of well-heeled customers who can afford its $300-a-month Gigabit Pro fiber-to-the-home service into the 10G future.
In a company blog post published Tuesday, Elad Nafshi, Comcast executive VP and chief network officer, announced that the Gigabit Pro service has been upgraded from 10 Gbps downstream and 6 Gbps upstream to a symmetrical 10-Gbps offering.
