Oh man, it would be broadband utopia 50mbit symmetrical connection with no traffic caps.
I'd pay up to and including $120  for such service.

1 edit |  Shoots theory that cable can't compete against Verizon Fios
If anyone still believes that cable won't be able to compete against Verizon's Fios, I guess this should make them rethink that. »Cable: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated

Yes, some users in the FIOS forum whining that their connection is not fast enough.

Matawan, NJ | Now my 16/1 comcast service seems slow
I was just upped to 16/1 service with comcast, now all of the sudden that doesn't seem so fast. 16 down is enough for me but I'd kill for some of that upload. |

Optimum Online Ultra
The third and fastest service included in Cablevision's suite of data products is Optimum Online Ultra, which offers customers a dedicated 50 Mbps symmetrical downstream and upstream data service.
First offered through a targeted deployment last spring, Optimum Online Ultra delivers this extremely high rate of speed over Cablevision's existing network facilities, leveraging the spectrum above that which is traditionally used to provide video, voice and data services to create new, QoS-managed bandwidth.
Optimum Online Ultra is available across Cablevision's entire service area immediately and is the fastest residential service ubiquitously deployed in the nation.

LMAO! Sure makes FiOS look like crap, huh?
It still makes no freakin sense why Verizon isn't pushing symmetrical speeds over their FiOS...

Re: Interesting
notice date on that PR...it's over a year old.
some Marketing guy got confused in dates
but knowing CV's speed of 15/2 and Boost rollout, don't expect Ultra until 2008

They still need to deploy the Narad technology to make it work. I look forward to it maybe I'd even switch back from fios. Somehow I can still imagine 5-10Mb during the day when eveeryone is on and 50 in the middle of the night. Yes this is support your getting 5mb well thats within spec to us. |

| Why not all cable providers?
If the technology is there, why aren't all cable providers gearing up for this? Why wait until Telco FIOS forces their hand? Why not just bury them before the Telcos get a foothold? The best defense can be a great offense.
What kind of Internet backbone connection is required to support 50Mbps P2P? What about 50Mbps P2P within the network?
Will the Ethernet over cable technology have MPLS-like features and be able to short-circuit traffic on the same node so that it doesn't have to go back to the NOC? |
