Comcast has announced it will offer “multi-gigabit,” faster-than-a-speeding-bullet broadband service to more than a million of its Washington customers starting this summer. How much are we talking? Comcast isn't prepared to slap a pricetag on the service just yet. But as Geekwire reports, ISP news service DSLReports has discovered numerous Comcast websites that put "Gigabit Pro" services at $300 per month. Comcast spokesman Walter Neary told Geekwire that the zippy new service will be available to “those who live within one-third of a mile of a fiber node.” To find out if a home or business is node-worthy, he asks customers to simply call Comcast. And everyone knows Comcast calls are among life's finest pleasures.
