Comcast’s just sent out a release confirming that they are indeed increasing their upload caps on their cable subscribers. Now all applicable users nationwide will have either a 6/1Mbps or 8/2Mbps, depending on which plan they’re currently subscribed to. Woohoo, better BitTorrent ratios are a’comin.
According to leaked docs, Comcast is officially bumping up their previously tiny upload caps on two of their plans tomorrow. Their 6Mbps/384Kbps plan is becoming 6Mbps/1Mbps, and the 8Mbps/768Kbps plan is becoming 8Mbps/2Mbps. Some people might think they have this rate already because of Comcast’s recently rolled out PowerBoost feature, which eliminates bandwidth caps on files of 10MB or less, and gives you a peak speed of about 2Mbps. This explains any extraordinarily high results you’ve been getting when using a bandwidth test site–which usually test uploads with files less than 10MB. Look out for this to hit tomorrow. See the official release after the jump.
We saw the Motorola Z8 before, with its banana-ish sliding body, but Motorola seems to have added some new software features since 3GSM.
For the specs, it runs Symbian OS, HSDPA, 2.2-inch screen, 30fps video, 4GB microSD card, and movies thanks to Universal, Sony and Warner. There’s also streaming video from Sky or CNN over its 3G, complete with a mini DVR-like system that you can watch shows anytime. It’s Moto’s multimedia-centric phone, which changes its form depending on what function is in use. Better yet, there’s YouTube, MySpace and Flickr uploading.
It does more than that.
