I live in Boston, and I emailed this info to Ars earlier this morning. I am not sure how far along in the write up this they were when I sent it. Another data point not touched is that In Boston I can put in my address for new service and I will get offered 1gig internet. If I log into my existing service 300Mbps is the fastest tier. Hopefully current users will be bumped up to the faster speeds.

"Others will pay more for slower speeds"

No joke. Our current FiOS service is 150Mbps for $95/month and after hearing about this I went to check and they offered me the generous alternate deal of 300Mbps for $190/month. :-(

Site might not be fully updated. I could cancel my service now and get 1gig for the same price as my current 300Mbps. I think they just need some time.
