Re: Good bye AT&T
So you really believe that cable companies are going to burn down their entire structure of DOCSIS 1.1 and build DOCSIS 3.0 compliant plant in 2 years? |

| Burn down? Deploying DOCSIS 3.0 is not like the total rebuild of FiOS or the costly Frankenstein monster of U-Verse. Its mostly a software replacement and some router upgrades... and it's still backwards compatible with all the current 1.0/1.1/2.0 modems out there.
Just get a new modem when you sign up for that new 100 Mbps Uber-Internet tier.  |

2 edits | And how many node splits are you going to need to do? I don't think 1500 customers will really be able to get 30Mb/s off of a single node no matter the software.
I admit, I'm not intimately knowlegable about HFC plant but from what I've seen, if you had to rank ease of upgrade it's U-Verse then DOCSIS 3.0 then FiOS. And this is the first I've ever heard about 1.1 modems being able to do 3.0 speeds. |
