| Won't happen any time soon.
The main reason is that the majority of folks do not need this speed right now.There is no killer app that requires 100Mbps. Noticed I said the majority not your typical BBR poster. Most people would be happy if upload speeds would just increase to 1Mbps.

Cox Comunication here is talking about 100Mbps/25Mbps
Now that would kick ass. |

| would be happy with 10/10
I would be totally happy with 10/10 speed. It seems every year we inch up about 1.5 in speed. I am at 6 now. So in a little over 2 yes i will probably hit 10M.

Verizon Fios can turn up the speed on BPON to 622 Mbps. When they upgrade to GPON, 1.4 Gbps. I can see Cavlevision actually doing this, but I doubt Comcast, Brighthouse, Time Warner, Cox, or Charter (Laughing Hard) moving up anytime soon. |

Telepresence needs at least 60mbs. 3-D TV may need more -- but why scope it out if its not feasible now?

Re: FIRST POST
...Until you read the fine print (thats not actually writen down anywhere) with your 50gig/month cap or risk cancellation / throttling.
The bandwidth has been available for a long time, for dirt cheap. Why dont people start asking the right question? How is it i can buy symmetrical 100mbps with a 2000GB/month cap for under 100$/month from a 13 yr old @ a datacenter, but a big company wont sell that sort of thing to my home?
The technology has existed for years, the problem is the ISPs want to keep all their gold rather than pay their upstream providers for some more GIGE's. |

Re: They're kidding right?
Something tells me that 75-150 megabits (minimum) would not make those 32 or 16 households unhappy...unlike cable where (by their own admission) your chances of seeing 100 megabits at any time is slim.

I stand corrected. But still, 2.4 Gbps/1.2Gbps by 32 households = roughly 75 Mbps down/ 37.5 Mbps up per household, minus overhead, video, and voice. Still not too shabby. |

No, between that many homes it would be horrible. And no, doubt will see 100mpbs anytime soon  |

Re: overkill, for now
Time Warner in NYC/Queens doesn't look like they care any to give us any increase in upload. 7Mbps down/2Mbps up would rock so hard. I think a lot of people would be very happy with that right now and that should be the standard service.
Sorry.. wrong spot. |

Re: They're kidding right?
Noone is going to max out the speed full time. The only thing that kind of open pipe would result in is a few abusers and alot of contented customers. In this situation I would not give a rats ass about people getting kicked off the network for full utilization of 100 mbits 24/7. Knowing the clear capacity of the network and the generocity of such a provider (they have the moral high ground in this scenario) I would be happy if they kicked me off if I ever did such a stupid thing. This is in the present, naturally as network apps expand and so does infastructure at some point they have to ease up completely or oversell on a new magnititude. |
