Just like FIOS, I will believe it when I see it. Until then it is nothing else but pillow talk to me.

Lets see what happens in 2008. Mr. Craddock might just end up choking on his own words, which would do us as consumers a favor.

Agree 100%. The most I can get out of my Docsys 2 modem is 7mbps, a far cry from the 15mbps advertised from the standard. I don't see any reason for a cable company to roll out the new standard when they are complacent on the current system.

Not anymore, the couch is empty.

Guess I'll have to invite some 'guests' over and hope they make a cash deposit into the couch when they sit down.

Technically, it's cushion talk, since we're discussing sofas.

Naa, I say more pillow talk.

If we're talking gas for any reason, we're all " biting the pillow" a little harder as we "take it"...

Re: couch change?

That must be the CEO's couch... as Comcast keeps raising rates by the amount that I can find in my couch.

How much did Comcast pay?

Anyone know how much they paid to upgrade their plant in the late 90s to support digital cable and HSI?

give 38mbits first..

How about nodesplitting until customers can get the full 38megabit caps their modems provide without customer upgrades?
Then we'll see what FIOS has instore for that response.. it's doubtful that FIOS or any flavor of AT&T adsl will want to give 50mbit service for less than their $90 pricetag anytime soon.

Maybe then Verizon and AT&T will get off their ass and spend some cash getting their lines deployed.

Re: *Yawn*

actually the docvsis 2 standard goes up to about 41 down and 30 up. docsis 1.1 is 40 down and 10 up. Cablevision is the only cable provider that is using docsis 2 in the us that I know of.

150Mbps DOCSIS 3.0

How does Cable think they can get everybody on a ring to get that speed. They're dreaming. They're putting 50 pounds of crap into a 1 pound bag.
