Re: YEAH!

At least Brian's not trying to shove HDTV and Inet down a mile of twisted pair.

Re: YEAH!

I wondered how you were doing over there. Nice to see you again.

Somehow you don't seem to get that shoving HDTV and Inet down a mile of twisted pair is as easy as shoving it down a mile of RG6, but hey, you don't really care about facts anyway.

Enjoy the mild winter.

So.. what ARE the facts?

First off.. they aren't shoving HDTV *AND* Internet down twisted pair.. they're shoving internet down twisted pairs and THEN shoving HDTV down that same stream.

Cable is 'shoving' multiple channels of HDTV on a pipe AND shoving Internet as well.

Shall we get into how many HDTVs on that twisted pair can actually view that stream on that twisted pair?

I have 6 HDTVs in my home... how many can I have with twisted pair.. and how many can I have with that last mile of RG6?

..but you really don't care about facts anyway.

I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking. And you?

Like they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Comcast keeps increasing my Inet speed and channel lineup every year...even out here in rural backwater Coloma. Comcast advertises 8Mb yet lately I've been seeing 10-12 Mb. Damn coax!

OTOH, all I can get from AT&T's twisted phone system is ~40kb...and that's being generous. What ever happened to Eddie's magic DSL line extenders?

Since you say twisted pair and coax are equal, I can only conclude Team Comcast is a bit smarter than Team AT&T.

Got news for you. But they're not shoving anything down a mile of RG6. Unless it is a mom-n-pop shop, they're using higher grade cable and RG6 from the curb to your home.

Re: YEAH!

Come take a look at what Comcast is using in this system then...it's RG-6 with a messenger embedded. There's about 120 feet of it coiled up in the alley behind my office where it snapped in half two years ago. I had to get it out of the alley since Comcast couldn't be bothered to send someone out to clean it up. Even a tech who came by to disconnect a tap at the same pole didn't do anything about it despite me pointing it out to them. "We don't consider that a priority" were his exact words.

Was probably pissed that the last of eight customers on that tap had just gone to satellite...
