Verizon's ONT can do about 600Mbps down and 155Mbps up according to Tellabs. Video is listed as being a different 'channel' on the Tellabs site so I don't know if the video is included in the 600+Mb capacity or if that 600Mb would be for all of the other non-video services they could offer. DOCSIS3 would have to bond quite a few channels to get that throughput. In any event neither Comcast nor Verizon are going to offer services that will saturate DOCSIS3 or the current FiOS ONT any time soon. DOCSIS3 will be plenty to compete with fiber for the foreseeable future. |

2 edits | Neither is Verizon's ONT according to Tellabs who makes at least some of the ONTs Verizon uses (1600 series). Like cable, the fiber in the street isn't the restriction...it's the equipment on each end. |

Lancaster, PA | True...But with GPON being deployed that will change.
I'm a Comcast user and can't wait for the deployment of 3.0 and all the new services that come along with it like smart home monitoring. 3.0 will be a good thing for the cable industry. |

| And then cablelabs will cert something new to counter it.
But for us, it's what the consumers are actually seeing that matters. Brian Roberts can crow all he wants about DOCSIS3 but I'll believe it when I see it and support it when it's not being followed with more nastygrams to customers who would dare actually use it. |

Fiber Fanboy here! Already have FIOS at 15/2 for $39.95.
Just as Cable goes 16M - FIOS will "Flip the switch" to 30 or 50 Meg. Maybe even symmetrical!!
Look out cable - your technology is limited, based on your wire! |

Look out cable - your technology is limited, based on your wire! And DOCSIS 3 cable operators will 'flip the switch' too. DOCSIS3 and current fiber HW from the likes of Verizon are similar in capability. The 1600 series ONTs can do around 600Mb down and 155Mb up and with channel bonding DOCSIS3 should be able to do that and possibly more.
Question is which will actually happen first; wide DOCSIS 3 deployment or flying pigs. |

VOD is IP and eats at the 622, and that 622/155 is shared with upto 32 users (more like 8 in real world 1.5-1.25 fibers per family/house, and only 10-20% of users who are passed subscribe). |
