Those results were from BOOST as well. Not a bit close to those numbers though. |

Same for me.. I usually get 23-28Mbps/4-4.6Mbps through my WRT54GL running DD-WRT.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ | I switched from IO to Fios, couldnt be happier. There is no comparison. Fiber is where the future is, it doesnt seem like CV has any interest in going FTTP, there for they will inevitably lose. This is the speed I get, I pay for 20/5.
I would recomend the switch! |

I think your wrong on that. Cablevision will eventually go fttp .
Cablebvisions fiber network grows everytime a business is added to the lightpath network.
Eventually it will make financial sense for cablevision to fttp but they dont have to totally redo their network right now to compete with verizon.
Remember verizon is completely overhalling their network. Cablevision isnt
BUt stop saying they wil lose if they dont go fttp. That is definately not true. |

Woodcliff Lake, NJ | I think saying they will lose if they don't go FTTP is a completely fair statement. The point is that FTTP is the future, CVs fiber to the poll is outdated and cannot compete with fiber to the premises. Also, CV treats their customers horrendously and they could for a long time because they were the only game in town. Needless to say, this competition should be good for all consumers as it gives us a choice, forces competitive pricing and makes each company appreciate its customers more. It will also help with new technologies. |

You have to understand the MARKET, and the different segments of the market to decide if FTTH will cause CV to "Lose". The vast majority of users do not want or need the power of Fiber to the home.

said by Jacqui Cheng :
A tiny segment of Internet users generate almost half of all Internet traffic, according to data from Internet traffic management company Ellacoya. In monitoring traffic across different networks, the company analyzed the data of about 2 million Internet users from August to December of 2006 in order to categorize them into five groups: "bandwidth hogs," "power users," "up and comers," "middle children," and "barely users." As it turns out, bandwidth hogs only make up about 5 percent of the entire Internet-using audience, but generate about 43.5 percent of the total traffic. Conversely, another 40 percent of users—the barely users—make very light use of the Internet and only generate about 3.8 percent of traffic. The remaining 55 percent of users generate the remaining 50 percent of traffic. HFC has a lot of expansion left in the system with new technologies can satisfy most users. If cable companies do not move to HTTH they can lower their prices and capture the average user and still make a profit. Fiber to the Home is a very expensive upgrade and may make it difficult for Verizon to be profitable and compete on price if cable companies decide to use that weapon. While FTTH may be the better service for the very high Bandwidth user, HFC may/should be able to satisfy the average user for a long time.
