Comcast begs Atlanta customers not to switch to Google Fiber

Google Fiber recently went live in apartments and condos in Atlanta, making it the fourth metro area to get Google's gigabit Internet service. Perhaps not coincidentally, Reddit user TheBen91 yesterday posted the above photo of a mailing from Comcast, in which the nation's largest cable company tries to convince customers that it offers a better deal than Google Fiber.
"So I got this in the mail today. I think someone is scared of Fiber coming to Atlanta," the user wrote.
Comcast's mailing touts "The fastest in-home Wi-Fi," "9X more FREE TV shows and movies On Demand," "DVR recordings to go," and the "X1 voice remote" as features that Google Fiber doesn't offer. Notably absent from the Comcast/Google Fiber comparison are prices and data caps. Google Fiber offers gigabit downloads and uploads for $70 a month, without any monthly data caps. "Basic Internet" of 100Mbps costs $50 for Google customers in Atlanta.
Atlanta, meanwhile, is one of the cities where Comcast is enforcing a monthly data cap on cable Internet with overage charges. The cap is 300GB a month with an option to pay $35 extra for unlimited data.

I mean Comcast sucks but what do you expect them to say?
Hey guys, they're better than us so let me show you where to sign in order to switch providers.

Can't wait until it gets to our neighborhood in Atlanta. Having Google as my cell phone provider now is wonderful.
I welcome our new Google overlords, most of what they do is awesome.

What is this garbage about fastest in home wifi? Isn't that just based on the equipment the owner wishes to buy, that's nothing to do with Comcast. Anyone can buy a fast wifi router.

That's what low quality, massive, bureaucratic companies have to do when confronted with a better company offering what will likely be a better quality product at a similar or lower price:
Mislead people.

Does their service get all the way up to Roswell/Alpharetta area? We're planning to move back to that area this summer.

If Comcast didn't want to lose customers, they'd have invested in their own infrastructure and attempted to be competitive. I have no sympathy for companies that don't even look after their own arse.
Competitors are only encroaching on their markets because they see opportunity.
