said by kd6cae:This is a curiosity I've been wondering for a while now. When it comes to upstream speeds via cable, are cable operators technically able to provide speeds beyond 2 megabits/second with existing equipment, or is 2Mbps the limit?
I ask this because while cablevision can provide it's customers with up to 5Mbps upload, no other cable provider anywhere in North America that I'm aware of, offers uploads any higher than 2Mbps, and that usually requires a business tier to even get that. Is there a technical reason why cable operators aren't yet offering, even to business users, speeds greater than 2Mbps upstream? What makes Cablevision able to offer double the upload plus, while every single other provider has a max it seems of just 2 meg?
Why Cablevision can offer 5 upload is cause they're on a Docsis 2 system for that tier, which is now maxed out for the 30/5 tier.
