said by as6o:A more direct answer to your question:
No. FIOS technology is capable of more bandwidth than DOCSIS3:
DOCSIS3: 160.00 Mbit/s
FIOS BPON: 622.08 Mbit/s (what they started out installing)
FIOS GPON: 2.4 Gbit/s (what they are installing now)
The question is not the total bandwidth but how much is allocated to the user. If you go to DOCSIS with 20 users sharing that 160 Mb/s, that is only 8Mb/s PER USER not the claimed 160 Mb/s. Also, you have to remember that all DOCSIS 3.0 does is allow the user to be using more than one channel at the same time instead of being restricted to one channel. It thus only reallocates the bandwidth (channels) on that node leg in a different way. You still must split the nodes as at present since there is a fixed number of channels to use in each node segment.
