It isn't going to work It has been dropped many times due to interference problems in one area and not commercially deployable in another and other various problems. So We will see it dropped completely unless they find a way to eliminate the problems. Wireless is the way to go, that or fiber. I been saying fiber is much better not only is it fast, after initial costs it is pretty cheap to offer and it has NO interference. Even Cable and DSL have interference I unplugged my cable modem once and the noise I had on the low bands went away. It can't be avoided even with the QUAD SHIELDED cable that my cable company uses.
It don't go far it is pretty localized with the cable and DSL causes some weird noises on some areas of the low bands. Light is better than RF in any form. So we will see what happens. One day we will have FTTH just gotta wait. I will probably be 40 by the time they decide to implement the FTTH here in America. The home of the most expensive broadband.

Longmont, CO | The reason you still have some interference from your cable box is not the coax, it's the box itself. The shielding in these boxes now a days leaves much to be desired. It is radiating from the circuit board inside (made in China) and with the lack of shielding in the case, it is still radiating some. You could try to place the cable box in a metal drawer and ground the input connector and the drawer to a good short ground. |
