Boonville, NY | Last throws of an ugly beast Great 100 down, that rocks, unfortunately, I bet the upload stays the same. Cablevision and cable in general is living on borrowed time.

I think most people here are jumping to the (incorrect) conclusion that this technology will be replacing the current DOCSIS infrastructure for residential broadband. I think it is far more likely that this high speed option will, at least in the short term, be a premium price offering primarily of interest to businesses. |

That makes it not unlike what Cox and other MSO's have been trying. Its just meant to give business clients greater access over the already deployed HFC network, and offer QoS for the same.

Hmmm. In the mid 90s I thought satellite would have killed cable. Didn't happen. I also would have thought VOIP would be bigger than it is. Didn't happen.
I wonder how many people still use AT&T as their long distance provider even though they've had a choice for, what, 20 years? |

said by Jafo232:Great 100 down, that rocks, unfortunately, I bet the upload stays the same. wrong. 50 up. 50 down is what they are going to offer to the households. They will only have 100 homes on a node instead of the 325 they average now. The Narad stuff can do (in theory) up to " 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps symmetric Ethernet to be carried, in the last mile, over any combination of fiber, coax, and wireless transmission media." »www.naradnetworks.com/pr_062805.html
Additionally this is QoS enabled, that means that they can actually 'guarantee' the speed levels. The current system is not QoS enabled.
This is going to be CV/OOL's future, the existing bandwidth may be phased out for OV which requires 120k (to be safe) per household using it. How many OV homes in a node to saturate and degrade everyone else? CV is making a new OV push and is willing to rewire your home to use OV at any phone jack (yeah, I know other companies have been doing this) but this makes the end-user start-up cost is highly reduced since they don't have to get a multiple unit wireless handsets to cover the house.
The existing bandwidth could also be used to expand the CV iO and allow more bandwidth for HD.....
The big question is how long to deploy? It took them 6 years to deploy the existing network everywhere. They have to visit every silver box out there, and put 3-4 Narad Switches and 1 of the Narad combiner boxes in each (or mount the Narad boxes closer to homes and put up more boxes). How many of these Narad boxes are being made and how fast?
It wouldn't surprise me, if the end-user box was a monthly rental instead of an outright purchase or free. This would allow an advertised price that was competitive to FIOS.
