Comcast begs Atlanta customers not to switch to Google Fiber Comcast touts more on-demand video, voice remote; leaves out price and data caps http://arstechnica.com/business/201...-atlanta-comcast-says-dont-fall-for-the-hype/
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.People are really mad about Comcast data caps."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.
