I consider this OP's description as Comcast overcharging. ;)

Well, you can't compare business service (or whatever yours is called)
with basic home service. 5/.5 should be the absolute minimum for base
cable access. I pay $94.22 for mine (TW 6/.5) with basic TV - that
includes modem (used to be $3 when it was Adelphia).

The rest of this is off subject:

Other countries are doing a lot better than we are in getting their
people reasonable/fast internet access.

I've been getting AT&T ads in the mail offering AT&T U-verse (Yahoo! HS)
for $84/mo (shows $74 online) for 200 channels and a slower internet speed
(I think you can pay for faster access). 100 channels only $59/mo. (only
1 receiver and no DVR).

Supposedly, you also get a 4 tuner DVR and 3 HD ready receivers and wireless
home networking support + professional installation with 200 ch and up.

The difference is that when a home account goes down they will fix it,
eventually. A business level account is required to be fixed within 24
hours, even if located in a home.

Oh my.....did Comcast actually send you a letter telling you they will raise
speeds at no increase in price?

How incredibly familiar that sounds.

What did they say? Did they tell you how long they'd keep the new speed
before quietly denying they'd ever done it?

DO NOT THROW AWAY THAT LETTER.

Since they can change their service offering at any time and your
choice is to take it or leave it, it seems that keeping a letter is a
waste of time.

No no details, just the promise of more details to come.
