Cablevision Press Release
"Optimum Online Boost will travel on its own dedicated portion of Cablevision's completed fiber-rich network, to ensure an extremely high level of service regardless of its penetration or the propensity of Optimum Online Boost customers to use bandwidth-heavy applications.
"...Optimum Online Ultra delivers this extremely high rate of speed over Cablevision's existing network facilities, leveraging the spectrum above that which is traditionally used to provide video, voice and data services to create new, QoS-managed
bandwidth."
So, according to Cablevision, the two higher tiers will be somewhat dedicated speed tiers. Whether or not this means consistent speeds (throughout the day) for those paying for these services is yet to be seen. However, I think it's worth pointing out that from the sounds of it the two higher tiers will not be sharing spectrum with the standard service.
Also, as I already pointed out... according to the press release, the symmetrical 50Mbps tier is ALREADY available across the ENTIRE CV/OO network and the other two tiers are being rolled out to be available across the entire network by mid-2006. |
