How can Cablevision with as small of a footprint as they have be able to throw all this bandwidth out

Actually, I think this is how they DO offer these speeds.

so we should break up all the big providers then?

Well no not at all. OOL simply has a strategically placed network covering a small FOOTPRINT, compared to other providers. Its the same way Japan can offer such high speeds, it is a very small area to wire and maintain.

If you look at how much fiber OOL has vs the other cable companies, its a huuuge difference. The reaosn OOL has so much more is because of there small(er) footprint. -- BlockNews.Net- Quality Usenet Block And Unlimited Accounts

Cablevision has a node every 10th pole in FIOS areas. This is very recent. Awhile ago a node was hard to find. This has to be costing Cablevision a few bucks. A CATV node needs power and battery backup to convert from glass to copper. An outage of a few hours will drain the batteries and there is no generator backup. Verizon's nodes are passive, no power required.
