kudos:1 | said by FBGuy:is that 100Mbps symmetrical? or is it 100Mbps down/ 512Kbps up? Most cable companies don't seem to be channel bonding on the upstream when using DOCSIS 3. More of a configuration/capacity headache.
Upgrading all fiber nodes and amplifiers for more upstream mhz is expensive, not to mention knocking out analog CATV Ready channels 1-6 by converting them to upstream. | |

|
| | | up to 100Mbps per node? per tap? how many people can hit 100mbps per head end? per node? per tap? | |

Mullica Hill, NJ | the death of analog cable is coming, cable is the only pay TV service that doesnt require STBs for every set.

1 edit | said by FBGuy:is that 100Mbps symmetrical? or is it 100Mbps down/ 512Kbps up? No, it definitely won't be symmetrical. To me, though, 100Mbps down/10Mbps up sounds more realistic than 100Mbps down/512Kbps up.

| Re: I'll take it... If you do backups, you get an external hard drive, 'cuz you're goig to hit it if you back up online.
Also I almost know what "no access" is like; back home it's 512/??? wireless where latency goes crazy sometimes.
And the number where high speed isn't available: less than 40%. There's HughesNet\WildBlue.
Interesting who's saying this too...the person who has reviewed FiOS, Service Electric, Embarq and VZW... | |

I'll gladly take it, too, but I'm wondering how much more it will cost compared to Comcast's new 50Mbps down/10Mbps up tier. I would also have to get a new modem as well.
What I'm also wondering is when and if Insight decides to implement this 100Mbps tier, would they get rid of the 10Mbps service which I'm currently on, and upgrade everyone to the 20Mbps tier, or keep it as it is now?

| | the dark side of Insight digital 4.0 for Lexington Kentucky $3.00 rate increase in January for the analog classic channel package
G4 will be removed from the analog classic channel package. G4 will be moved to the digital channel package.
West coast feeds of HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax will be removed.
The $3.00 increase is the worst part. | |
