Re: Still aint gonna compete with fios. said by AbBaZaBbA:It's the way cable networks work with the upload. Only one person on a node can send at once. So if too many people are uploading it can take out the whole network. You are so incorrect I don't even know how to respond....
If that was true everyone on cable would only have a 56K upload.....
A node has a certain amount of upload available, and with Cox going to DOCSIS 2.0 (to supply the 2meg upload) there is plenty available sins the super heavy uploader... |

I'm not sure about 2.0 but I remember a few years ago really looking into it. Basically downloads get broadcast over variable frequencies. So they can be broadcasting to as many people as can fit at once. But with uploads, only one client can be transmitting at a time. (we're talking miliseconds though). But with eneough people uploading cable networks can get really congested. |
