 MattAll noise, no signal.Premium join:2003-07-20 Jamestown, NC kudos:12 | I would max out my 15Mbps connection when I download large files.
I downgraded to the 6Mbps package and believe it or not, I knew when the downgrade went into effect two days later. I could tell that my browsing was a tad slower. -- Oh I'm so creative and all my programs are so easy to use ... |

So, if you want to know what servers can keep up with this, in the case of Comcast, it's going to be their IPTV servers, interactive services, and other internal services. Many people forget that Comcast is still a television provider first, and internet second.
I've said this for months now.. DS3.0 is not all about putting out 100mb to the home for surfing the internet. (All your P2P people need to wipe the saliva from your mouths... now) It is a way for cable to break out of the fixed frequency spectrum limitations they have now in order to deliver more services like HD channels, more video programming, and yes, some more speed, but it's not going to be 100MB up and down for surfing... forget that idea right now.
I know many people are going to come back bitching, pissing and moaning that "this is a reason for net neutrality" and every other statement, but just because it's packet data doesn't mean it has to go beyond the head end... keep that in mind before all the mud slinging and insults. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-serving, the lazy, and Im told its a womans prerogative..." |

Right now I'm throttling my use down to about 1MBytes/s=8Mbits/s outbound to be nice to others in the local network. If I opened it up, it'd go to 3.7MBytes/s=30Mbits/s quickly (settling at about 3.4MBytes/s -- I tried it for a minute), and if the local network allowed me, it'd be at more like 50MBytes/second right now.
But those are at current uses. Future uses (what we should be planning for installation today) would be much more. |
