It's been a rough week or so for Big Cable, but it looks like the East Coast's Cablevision's decided to play things a little differently than Comcast and Time Warner: it's just announced that uncapped 101Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 service will be rolling out on May 11 across its entire service area. The best part? It'll cost $99 a month, making it faster and cheaper than any other high-speed package we can think of -- 50Mbps service from Comcast and Verizon is around $140. Not bad at all -- let's hope the competition picks up on it.

Hello competition!

I was getting a little worried about Time Warner (not that I live in one of the areas they were going to test) so this is good news especially when companies are trying to charge more and blame it on a degrading infrastructure or a small percentage of people who are using all the bandwidth. Hopefully more competition like this can continue to expand to kick them in the phanny and get them in gear.
