hiatus | said by bogey780:But the frequency limits of cable are spread across multiple users back to the node. Indeed, that has always been one of the weakest points of cable. However, with SDV and some of stuff in the pipe, the ability to manage that bandwidth will improve.
That's why FTTC is quite promising. All the benefits of FTTP without the premise issues. That's where node splitting comes in. Currently, cable operators have nodes and several repeaters. The task, over time, will be to replace the repeaters with more nodes. It is different, however, for the cablecos though... They have the luxury of having a physical network that can support enough bandwidth to put off fibre for probably a decade. Traditional phone pairs, even bonded, don't have anywhere near enough bandwidth to dick around that long. In ten years, demand for bandwidth and content is going to stretch the last mile of the telcos thin if the aren't on fibre.
