Comcast only knows one thing and that is to raise your rates and not deliver anything for the rate hike. Their infrastucture is old and in disrepair in my locale and they have no intention in the near future to revitalize it because they have a lock on the franchise. In order to utiize this new technology,Comcast and the other ISP's will have to provide consistent, reliable service which in my case has been a mere pipe dream. the Internet service providers are infected with unethical business practices, inept technical support, lack of responsibility, lack of real customer service by rude and careless staff. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18311669 Thu, 10 May 2007 10:35:59 EDT Re: Possible in a year or 2; not likely until 10 yrs from now http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18308290 furlonium :

I didn't say that, someone else did. For me the old WW1 Airman phrase "Speed is Life" sums up my opinion. More speed = more opportunities and options.

However I believe that even if they grant the speeds they will use the TOS as a tool to bludgeon people from being able to do anything too useful. (Such as host your own business.)

Multiple HD streams to multiple PC's in single households, Centralized data storage, and application loading, truly integrated communications networks so you can answer your cell phone on your TV, and unlock your front door from your car. Single points of contact, so if you want to call someone the network finds them and routes the call correctly. Appliances that can reorder supplies, or update your grocery lists while your shopping as your kids eat your food. Wouldn't it be great if everytime someone rang your doorbell or opened your door you could have a live feed sent to your TV or cell phone to see who is entering or exiting your house? Utility control so thermostats automatically adjust based on your location, and lights turn on and off when needed. How much closer towards energy independence could we be if the majority of people didn't have their furnace's/ACs blasting away when they're at work, or out to eat, or out at all?

"Who needs 100mbps" is frankly an ignorant question. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18306956 Wed, 09 May 2007 13:20:12 EDT Re: Possible in a year or 2; not likely until 10 yrs from now http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18306886 KrK : Hell I remember when I jumped from 300 baud to 1200 baud.... and then later 2400 baud.

Those kinds of speeds(100 mbps and up) to customers will be technically feasible in a year or two from US cable companies. But to make them widely available, infrastructure would have to be vastly updated, with numerous node splits in every neighborhood across the companies footprint. And that involves spending a great deal of money. Don't expect these speeds in most areas for up to 10yrs away.
Who knows maybe in 10 years people will need 100 Mbps. To be honest( and I'm a more speed the better guy ) who really needs 100 Mbps? Unless you're trying to download a bunch of blu-ray dvds. To stream something in 1080p would only take 16-20 Mbps. How many sites are going to do that?
No, nobody really needs the 100Mbps at the moment but we currently could use speeds around 20Mbps down and more upload.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18306455 Wed, 09 May 2007 11:42:53 EDT Re: Possible in a year or 2; not likely until 10 yrs from now http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18305778 JSRoman :

1- Node splits are already happening.
2- 5.7 billion being spent this year on capital infrastructure hence Comcast stock taking a hit lately
