FioS is limited in area at the moment, but I think the cable companies know its there and are working on higher speeds.
but NOBODY is really touching UPLOAD speeds.

I'm not complaining, because I could still be on dial-up. Cable ISPs upgrade their speeds based on what competition is in the area. The only way a cable ISP will roll out something like this is if Verizon rolls out a 400Mbps tier of FIOS.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16613138 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 11:47:31 EDT Re: I'll believe it when I see it... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16612623 mas6700 : OK, sorry about the outburst. You're correct, I didn't read it thoroughly. I also had it with Comcast and their over priced service so any suggestion that "400 Mbit/sec in just down the road" strikes me a wishful thinking as far as coming from a CATV ISP. I would agree that this would be a benefit to homes that just have coax in the walls. It's also probably a better option then using the power lines for packet transmission since that could also cause a lot of RFI. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16612623 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 10:16:44 EDT Re: I'll believe it when I see it... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16612391 LeftOfSanity : Well, your personal feelings aside, Comcast will have to keep up. Seems inevitable with other cable Co's and other companies going to higher speeds.

The article references using your in house RG-59/RG-6 to create a 400Mbit home network rather then running CAT-5/6 in older homes, and maybe new ones also. The technology is being developed for cable companies, but why not use it for home networking also. This could compete with WIFI, Homeplug, and Ethernet networks. I wish this was available now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16612382 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:29:10 EDT I'll believe it when I see it... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16612368 mas6700 : The day your typical cable company, (Comcast, Adelphia, Cox,...) offers 400 Mb/sec will probably be the same day we'll see world peace. Right now I get a whole FOUR Mbit/sec from Crapcast and it costs $60 a month. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for 400 Mbit/sec from a CATV company. FIOS maybe, but Comcast, yeah right...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16612368 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:24:55 EDT
