Re: Cablevision boost

said by Justin413:

Will DOCSIS3 be able to surpass the speed of verizon Fios? outta curiousity. thanks
The answer is not easy and is not all about the "speed" quoted by marketing or the technology used (fiber vs. cable). The speed marketed refers to the last mile only and does not take into account

• how fast your PC will go (processor, NIC, disk speed, etc)
• the oversubscription of the Telco CO or Cable CMTS
• the speed and congestion of ISP traffic exchange points
• the speed of the content

The real answer is, both will be very fast no matter what they hype or FUD is. 8M Powerboost will have a similar end user experience as 20M fiber for 98% of all users.
