Would You Pay $400 For Internet?

Some of the world's fastest Internet speeds let you download an HD movie within 7 seconds. But next month, according to the Washington Post, Atlanta will get access to Internet service from Comcast that will cut that time in half.

Comcast announced on Thursday that it will soon begin offering a service capable of delivering Internet speeds of up to 2 gigabits per second — that's twice as fast as Google Fiber's top speeds and 200 times what the average U.S. household currently gets. And, the company claims, it will soon be available to 1.5 million Atlanta residents.

The service, which is called Gigabit Pro, is a none-too-subtle shot across Google's bow, and a sign of further broadband competition to come.

Gigabit Pro will cost less than the $400 a month.
