Comcast has unveiled a new cable modem capable of speeds of 150 megabits per second -- some 25 times faster than standard cable modems. The device, which requires linking four cable lines together and is faster than Verizon's FiOS fiber-optic technology, was displayed at the National Cable and Telecommunications Assn. meeting in Las Vegas. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said that he expects the system, currently dubbed DOCSIS 3.0, will become available in 2009.
