Why would Comcast do that? Wouldn't they want you to pay more for faster internet service (when you're almost never going to be maxing out your bandwidth)?

I guess they could be gaining by publishing this so it calms down those who are already on the maximum tier but are not happy and might switch to a different provider that can offer more?
Since Comcast offers gigabit, I doubt there are many people who are itching to switch to something faster than that.
They have what, an offering of gigabit to 5% of the market? I must quickly call everyone and shout about how unbelievably impressive this is.
From what I hear the upload is just laughable even on the gigabit plans, and the data caps don’t help either.
