I know I'm being picky here but I hate when new technology is called "fast" or "new" because one day that technology will be old and slow. Assuming this does catch on 20 or 30 years from now to say fast tcp will be reffering to an old technology that is slow and good only for reminiscing.
Edit for spelling.

Charter Communications implements FAST TCP Protocol Acrossed cable modem connection. New firmware's will be flashed onto all cable modem's to assure that no one goes above the 128kbps upload limit even though they now have 100's of megabits of upload bandwidth available.
Also Just in, Charter Communication signs a 10 year deal with the city of P3x594 of the planet mars to offer 10mbps/10mbps connections to residential customers for $8.99 a year.

| Why do people crap on news like this?
Broadband technology is in its infancy in the scheme of things. It has been around for a little over 7 years. It was only in major cities then it took another year just to get it a little more spread out. Today, there are people who still can't get it.
When news like this comes out, I don't believe it is going to be out tomorrow. However, I do believe they are making progress towards making the internet better. People have got to understand that the entire structure of the internet needs to be upgraded before 8.6 meg of bandwidth is even going to be possible. There are steps that need to be followed, money to be spent, time spent testing and implementing, and so on. It is going to take years for a new technology to be implemented through the entire internet that will allow that kind of bandwidth.
Instead of crapping, being optomistic that changes are coming is the best way to handle news like this. No one is saying you have to believe these changes are going to come overnight. However, a understanding that people are working hard to make a difference and change the way the internet works is very important.

Because large ISP's give the screw job to consumers to make 5 extra dollars. They have no soul.

the piece also noted they are in "talks" with Microsoft and Disney about deployment which means Billy will tie it into IE and charge a fee for it. thank God for the Federal suit that just was settled. I'm happy to see the government waste all our money and now say nothing as they announce their plans to rebundle the browser into the operating system. watch them make a deal for exclusivity with IE or Langhorn or whatever the name of the next operating system is and charge a fee. |

There are a lot of different announcements on the future of broadband. Seems like there have been about 10 different announements actually. I take each one lightly, but I also know that there are people working on making things faster for the home. You are right, it is just talk so far, but it is still news. I like to be able to follow the technology personally. Just like all the advancements you hear about the battle against AIDS, SARS, and cancer. No cure yet, but I don't mind hearing about the battle and how it is going. Same thing when it comes to the speed of the internet, IPv6, wireless access, DOCSIS 2.0, and so on.
I remember a time when broadband was promoted about 10 years ago and no one believed it was true. In fact, a lot of people laughed when the concept of fast data pipe to the home was announced. I am not saying that this technology would be implemented, but merely saying to keep an open mind. That is how new technology and advances in existing technology happen.

You could always go with another OS, can't you?

Ha, 8.6 Gps....sounds good huh? Yeah how much are they going to charge for that?
First off people like me can't get Broadband at all. How about instead of spending money on increasing speed that much let's make things more available.
I would do anything to get a broadband service available to me where I can get at least 1 Mps to me.

Re: Billy Boy
That is such a silly reply. Not trying to get into the old wars again, but come on. No, one cannot simply go with another OS. MS is not open-standards. It is not feasible for a company, nor even an individual, to go with Linux or MacOS when the applications and documents they create on those systems won't work with everybody else's system. Much less the applications aren't available on those systems either.
I used to work exclusively on a Mac, until my primary applications ported to Windows and abandoned the Mac. I don't really have a problem with that, but 'just using another OS' is not an option.
