Yes here's the shocker ---

Remember DOCSIS has been around for quite a while now... what like over 10 years for 1.0? And regardless of DOCSIS 1.0 or 2.0, you're basically only getting 38mbit shared between all users on your portion of the network. Now how "big" is your portion of the network? It really depends. But back when DOCSIS was first deployed it might have been upwards of 150-250 subs!

Obviously with companies offering 10mbit/16mbit etc PER USER it makes that 38mbit shared limit quite a constraint - esp considering just 3-4 users could completely saturate it.
