Comcast Goes Gigabit ... Times 2

Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) plans to offer residential multi-gigabit broadband service to more than 1.5 million customers in Atlanta starting next month. The MSO's Gigabit Pro is a symmetrical, 2 Gbps service that will be delivered via a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) solution. Service will be offered broadly across the Atlanta metro area and is intended to be the fastest residential Internet speed in the country.

Gigabit Pro will be available to any home within close proximity of Comcast's fiber network and will require an installation of professional-grade equipment.
