“Comcast will charge $299.95 per month for its 2Gb symmetrical service (2 Gb/s down, 2 Gb/s up) on its Web page, following a rollout earlier this year that neglected to note what Comcast would charge you for the service. As of today, the service is available in the San Francisco Bay Area and other parts of California, plus Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Miami and nearby areas. The service comes with a number of caveats: First, you’ll need to live within a half-mile of Comcast’s metro fiber network—which presumably won’t be a problem if you live in the supported cities. The catch is the installation fee—$500 according to the fine print, the Verge discovered—and another $500 for the activation fee.”
