hmm

Actually cable is running boost users at max download of a cablenode. Boost users download cap is uncapped meaning what ever the node can handle. So max would be about 38 down(if you figure in overhead). Upload is still at 5 up.

Unless cablevision releases the narad stuff they can only either upgrade to beta docsis 3 stuff or reduce the price .

cablevision has nowhere left to go they already maxed out what docsis 2 can do. This could get interesting.

Nodes are so congested, that 5megabits is all they can do on the upstream? Docsis 2.0 spec is 30mbits up, but getting there would force them to split some nodes 2-3x to accommodate those who would actually USE the bandwidth.
Time will tell if the speedboost can hold water competing with symmetric FIOS. And, if not... they can lower the price or hunker down to get Docsis 3.0 underway.. it's not as if they'll lose all 2 million subscribers overnight.
