Re: 38mbps between 100 users??? That's funny, a single home on FIOS can run 2.5x what COX's entire node can handle. Nice, I am glad to see we are really advancing in technology which is becoming cheaper and cheaper to deploy. |

Nice, I am glad to see we are really advancing in technology which is becoming cheaper and cheaper to deploy. A CMTS can have multiple upstream and downstream cards. Typically the 1 downstream is paired with 4 upstream channels. So, capacity can be increased without restructuring much. In other words, 38Mbps (40Mbps raw) is not the node capacity as quoted. There is much more upscaling capability based on load on the CMTS.
Still, companies oversell their capacity since not all customers are using all the bandwidth all times. Verizon needs a lot more bandwdith to sell TV service. Since cable company has dedicated TV channels, they can get away easily by overselling the data capacity. |
