Help us Google you are only hope. Comcast says no promise prices “will go down or even increase less rapidly”

Arstechnica report that when Comcast announced its proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable, it said the merger would bring significant cost savings and efficiencies that would "ultimately benefit customers."

But Comcast doesn't expect these savings to bring price decreases, or even cause prices to rise less rapidly.

Previously Comcast executive vice president David L. Cohen writes that the allure of Google Fiber's gigabit service doesn't match the needs or capabilities of online Americans. Comcast thinks people do not want super fast internet access.

In February, Time Warner Cable said there's no consumer demand for gigabit internet speeds and that it's "in the business of delivering what consumers want." Despite the comments, whenever it believes that its customers do want gigabit broadband, the company will likely be ready: last year, Time Warner offered $50 gift cards to Kansas City employees who would share "tips, rumors and rumblings" about Google Fiber during its debut build out.

Google is trying to bring fiber to the home to more cities in the USA which will bring gigabit speeds at affordable prices.
