Comcast Launching 50 Mbps Broadband Service

In December stated it would start rolling out 100 Mbps service this year with 20% of homes DOCSIS 3.0-capable by the end of 2008. We're not to that level, but starting on April 3rd a new "extreme high-speed" Internet tier will be available to subscribers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.

If it was in the UK it would come with a 500MB download limit per month.

Seriously though, I wonder how fast it is really going to be.
