Comcast Corp. Chief Executive Brian Roberts dazzled a cable industry
audience Tuesday, showing off for the first time in public new technology
that enabled a data download speed of 150 megabits per second, or roughly
25 times faster than today's standard cable modems.

The cost of modems that would support the technology, called "channel
bonding," is "not that dissimilar to modems today," he told
The Associated Press after a demonstration at The Cable Show. It could be
available "within less than a couple years," he said.

The new cable technology is crucial because the industry is competing with
a speedy new offering called FiOS, a TV and Internet service that Verizon
Communications Inc. is selling over a new fiber-optic network. The top
speed currently available through FiOS is 50 megabits per second, but the
network is already capable of providing 100 Mbps and the fiber lines offer
nearly unlimited potential.
