Google Fiber is intended by Google to be a prod to other ISPs to upgrade access speeds. Oddly enough, major ISPs might need little encouragement.
By some reports, Comcast will upgrade speeds in the the March to May time frame for many customers nationwide. The "Blast" tier reportedly will be upgraded from 25/4 Mbps to 50/10 Mbps.
Comcast's "Extreme" tier will be increased from 50/10 Mbps to 105/20, while the "Performance" tier will be boosted from 12/2 Mbps to 25/4 Mbps (May 2013).
