I come from Western New York, where (at the time) 20mbps was the best available option and it was over $100. I hear things are a little better now (though 100mbps may still be the best available), but the options here are way better.
Sure it's a great speed, but $300/mo plus a $2k install just to get a decent upload? Seems like market segmentation where they're basically just ripping anyone off who wants to run a little server or backup their files to the cloud.
Yeah, it'd be nicer to have symmetric gigabit for less, but the gigabit pro is actual fiber to the home (it doesn't run over coax lines).
Comcast includes a Juniper ACX2100 switch for layer 2 and bringing the fiber into the house. I thought that was pretty cool. (Well 'includes', you have to pay to rent it from them.)
I think 2gbps is rare to find anywhere?
