The Facts....
With existing CV infrastructure (Docsis 1.1 and current node sharing) would NOT allow this type of bandwidth. Now if they were to upgrade to perhaps Docsis 3 they maybe could offer something like this but I bet it will be expensive. Myself and many others were expecting the next OOL upgrade to be in the line of 20mbps down / 5 mbps up. No one expected this much, but hey if they can do it I won't ask. I think it is wrong for us to all assume what CAN and what CAN'T happen on Cablevisions network.
I was told MANY times by CV reps that CV would soon be offering a speed that would blow FIOS out of the water. I actually called them up a few times to ask what CV would do to compete with FIOS. I wonder if this is true? If it is CV will have to offer me a SUBSTANTIAL amount of more speed (30mbps at least) to win me over since Verizons 15/2 package at $45.95/month has my name all over it. I also plan on getting Verizon TV services which will be MUCH cheaper than OOL and provide a lot more features.....
CV better work fast because they are about to lose a loyal customer.... And I'm not the only one in this area, I can see a couple million leaving in the coming years.For this area FIOS is a tech that is being installed in 70 towns nearby and within 3 years should be ALL over the place.
