Agreed. Also "twice" isn't really impressive in most technology. If it was an order of magnitude then "crush" might be more appropriate to use here.

For Comcast which has the worst ISP reputation it can be impressive. As long as they'll actually roll it out everywhere for prices below $100.

Which they won't. It's $400.

It seems unlikely that Comcast's 2GB/s service in Atlanta will be anywhere near $400.

> Comcast hasn’t discussed pricing for its new service. The company’s XFINITY Extreme 505 service costs $399.95 per month and offers speeds of about half a gigabit. However, competition from Google Fiber, which is planned to expand into Atlanta, may drive down prices in some areas. We’ve already seen this from AT&T, which offers gigabit fiber connections for $70 a month in Austin, Texas, where it competes with Google Fiber, but $110 in Cupertino, where it doesn’t.[1]

Then they should get lost together with their PR talk.
