| docsis 3 will appear when needed Cable has been the winner on internet connectivity for years, and dsl/fios is just catching up. Once cable feels a threat they will react, DS3 will appear once telco dsl up the ante. But either way its going to be incremental why would the telco tip there hand early, when they can go up 2m at a time ?

| REally? Hrmm i don't hear of onerous caps with dsl nearly as often as you do almost with a certainty on cable. I have 3/768 and it jsut works great. 6/512 jsut doesn't apeal as the upload is what counts these days with attachments getting larger and games requiring more bandwidth. |

| Of course you "don't hear of caps as often with DSL as cable". That's because DSL is (by and large) MUCH slower than the cable offerings. Here Cable is (literally) 10x faster than the fastest DSL (and cheaper to boot). Thus with your slow DSL connection there is little need for caps.
VDSL is a pipe dream. And remember guys, not everybody lives in an apartment building. |

It took me a few secs to figure you ment DOCSIS3. |

DSL will NEVER catch up to cable due to distance issues. if a cable company offers a certain speed, I can get it. NOT SO with DSL.
