US cable giant, Comcast is trying to attract more users to its broadband internet service by raising the maximum potential speed of its premium broadband network to 16 Mbps.

This is a slight jump ahead of the 15 Mbps of downstream bandwidth offered by Verizon Communications, but Comcast still has a long way to go before truly surpassing its top rival.

The cable provider will need to cut down on the $67.95/month cost of its premium stand-alone internet service, and bring it more in line with Verizon’s $49.95 monthly service price if it wants to gain a true competitive advantage.
