What % of the "suburban neighborhood" is "holding their breath for 120Mbps". It would take multiple systems WFO to come close to consuming this bandwidth. Most businesses don't have this. I also don't believe the majority of content source feeds will deliver it. |

| I predict....
It will be 5 or 10 years before U.S. customers see anywhere near 100Mbps speed. It might be that long before even 50Mbps service is widely available.
even when it does happen I wouldn't be surprised if the "100Mbps tier" was over $100/mo.
I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt I am. |

| Picket for faster speeds...
The problem is demand for faster speeds just DOESN'T materialize in much of the country.. there are parts of the country where DSL below 768kb and cablemodem service below 1mbit symmetric is tolerated and paid a PREMIUM FOR!!!
You apathetic losers need to start picketing outside your provider's corporate offices to tell them to get off their ASS and raise the broadband speeds you cheap, stingy bastards!! |

Most businesses don't have this. I also don't believe the majority of content source feeds will deliver it. Point is moot because of chicken and egg. Of course no one is providing a service that no one is capable of using because of infrastructure constraints. When speeds increase to 120Mbps no one will be offering source feeds of 120Gbps either. |

Re: I predict....
No because once the infastructure is in place all you have to do is let the market progress in the direction of falling bandwidth prices. At this point Verizon, TWC, Cablevision, AT&T, and whoever else is out there providing service just needs to flip a switch. Getting from 10Mbps to 15Mbps is a major hurdles because Docsis 1.1 can't quite handle it and 2.0 is pointless to implement since it won't do much for downloads and will soon be replaced by Docsis 3.0. once Docsis 3.0 is in place it is kind of like being in the days of when Docsis 1.1 was all the rage and 1Mbps was a gargantuan speed. You saw how cable raised speeds rather regularly from 1 to 2 to 3 to 5 to 7 and now some have 10. The same will happen once that jump to Docsis 3.0 occurs. |

| hmm
Why is it that people always leave out cablevision. Cablevision deployed docsis 2.0 already and boost users have uncapped downloads. meaning the downlaod is whatever the node and docsis 2 tech can handle.
I belive with the rate cablevision has been going, as insider stated they will be the first to docsis 3.
heck cablevision was testing narad equipment to provide 50/50 service. So I wouldnt count them out. |

The reality is that if 99% of Americans had access to 2Mps/1Mps at affordable prices and half of us had access to 30Mps/10Mps nearly all of us would be jumping for joy! |

Chesterfield, MO | 120Mbps down and 2Mbps up?
Anyone know what the upstream rate is? At this point I have 5Mbit/second service. I have plenty of download but my 512Kbps upload stinks. I can download digital photos like crazy but pushing them to the photo site is slow as hell. |
