Wow. Comcast just bumped me from 75 to 100 mbs at no charge.

Yep. Had to reserve my modem. Went from 78meg down to 107meg down after the reset.

Me too. Though I’d been getting more than the 75 I was supposed to get (93 or so) for a while now.

Now you can hit your data cap quicker

I use about 100 go out of my one tb limit

I called Comcast customer service for an issue and agreed to do the post-call survey. I politely complained about a few things. A week or two later I got an email saying they had bumped my speed at no extra cost. Not sure if coincidence,

Another customer service person later tried to sell me the same upgrade. I told her about the letter, but she said she saw no record of it. I said, well, Speedtest as we speak says I have it, so no thanks to paying more.

You'll still hit 1tb faster with 100mb over 75mb though, so his point is technically correct

If the faster speeds leads you to do more internet browsing and more video watching then sure

you both are right

With increased speeds you can now do more things at once which would lead to hitting your bogus data cap faster.

On the weekend we use 50 in a day sometimes

They're probably getting rid of the 75 meg tier and the option was either 50 or 100. They won't lower your speed without your approval or knowledge so they increased it as a "courtesy".
