Video Rich content works better on a Cable Modem??? Please explain... psshh

In my opinion Video Rich content works better on a T1 connection but we're not going to get into that...
T1? 1.544mbps? You realize that many of us Comcast subs have a sustained 8mbps, right?
A few even have 16mbps sustained.

Tell ya what my friend, I'll supply the link, and we can both download the video file at the same time(1.36GB) and guess who will be watching it sooner.

I will be lol it was a joke just like his comment was a joke... I've got 8 mbps sustained...



And yes I know thats powerboost but from Chicago to San Fran. thats not half bad...

FIO's as well as many other companies offer much higher sustained rates than that of Comcast. It's just the point that a Cable modem does not make a video look better, but the bandwidth at hand...

OP stated that "...Video Rich content works better on a T1 connection..."

Uhm. getting that content is a very important part viewing or using it, right?

FiOS is irrelavent to this news item and to the comment(s) made by the OP.

A T1 would take a wee bit longer to download anything, let alone video, no?

No one that I can see ever said that the video would look better, did they? No. They didn't.
He asked for explaination, I provided one.

Hello did u not see that I said it was a JOKE dude you take me way to seriously... As a matter a fact you take this whole thread way to seriously... LOL

I agree maybe I should have put a J/K at the end of my statement but I thought the wink was enought to tell it was a joke...

Look/Works... all the same thing... and fio's does work better A.T.M.

Look friend, YOU decided to jump in and place your two cents "on the table".
Since this is a text media we are using, no one can tell what is or is not meant as a joke.

FiOS... I know of an ISP that smokes FiOS, but it has no business in a news item about Comcast, does it?
Well, neither does FiOS.

Take serious... no.
Take literally, perhaps.

Have a Good One!

If the video bitrate and resolution size is low and it's bi-directional communication than I'd take the T1 over a cable connection.

So how does one get 43mbps when a cable node maxes at 38mbps

im sorry but id rather take the 1.544mbps T1 line that guarantees me full sustained speed and a dumb pipe than comcast's secretly capped pipe full of crap!

Then buy the business class service and shut up already. Enjoy the $500 monthly bill too.. ok?

It's comments like that that displays the ignorance of some people who don't get what "RESIDENTIAL SERVICE" is VS. a business class service with an SLA..
