Re: Still on 1.1...

I'm still on 1.1, why talk about 3.0 when ISPs are not even upgrading to 2.0?

Cable ISPs are idiots, they already have fiber to the node, they might as well start building out fiber to the home!
Here we go again, the primary advantage of DOCSIS 2.0 is additional upstream. Cableco's are not like telcos and adopt all new technology just for the sake of image. If they can make the same money with 1.0 and not have to sink the capital, that's much better for them.
More upstream is the exact reason why they should.. The number one complaint by broadband users is upload speed.
Thats the complaint by BBR users, not broadband users. There is a difference.

The people who know broadband and are tech savvy want the faster upload. The common user only cares about a few select things. Believe it or not, but broadband provider content is more important to these people than upload speeds.

Don't forget that if they give us more upload then everyone will make servers. Or at least that is what they seem to say.
We all know that on almost every Broadband connection that is forbidden.
Thats why my cable isp gives me a high speed (upload) connection of 256Kbps.
Sending 50meg of pictures is so much fun, I can relive my dial-up memories.... lol!

Faster uploads = faster spreading of viruses and spam too. Just a friendly reminder. You may not get hit, but the page you are trying to load might get attacked by a group of idiot users who did (like this site, just an example though).
