This is probably why they are strict at capping bandwidth. When they release 3.0 DOCSIS, they will probably increase the cap size. |

Re: Pfft
said by Defiance82  :Pfft and half the nation is still on DOCSIS 1.x. They should upgrade the old crap first.. The reason that they are still on 1.x is because with 3.0 right around the corner, why should they upgrade to 2.0? On the other side is there is little to no competition so they don't have to raise speeds. Recently FiOS has become a threat to some so they are now upgrading to keep their customers.

Our forum users have sloshed through the rumors and Comcast tech whispers, with their best guess on the first trial speeds being something like 16Mbps/2Mbps this June, in Denver. COME ON BABY, BRING THE 16/2 TO DENVER!!!! "can't sleep, clowns will eat me..." |

Re: Pfft
Our cable system was at 2.0, but then Comcast bought it and rolled it back to 1.x. Go figure. |

Re: switched digital video?
Actually they bring up an interesting point... digital television, while probably traveling on a different channel, is really nothing but data just like internet service. Regardless, all of these services use the same pipe so why is one service capped while another isn't? |

| it's not gonna keep me from switching
comcast can do anything they want, when FIOS is available in my area I'm dropping comcast broadband like a hot potato.
They have one chance to keep my business: match or exceed FIOS speed at a lower price. And I mean $5 or $10/month lower, not $0.50 or $1 lower. Even then I might not stay with comcast. |

160 mbps / 120 mbps minimum top speeds, with higher rates possible.
Of course, real life offered speeds will be less than that.
Here is the link to all the specs:

Re: switched digital video?
But it's a finite amount of bandwidth and everyone is using it the same. The max it would consume is the total number of channels they provide. And with switched digital they can cut that back to closer to the amount of channels being watched in a local geographic area. |
