Re: Moooo
said by PolarBear  :Well I don't know why you replied to my post, but anyway... This isn't necessarily about what speeds the providers are WILLING to give you, so your argument about only being able to get 7 from Comcast is irrelevant. This is about the speeds that the mediums are CAPABLE of providing. With DOCSIS 3.0, Comcast will be ABLE to provide 100mbps service. So in 4 years when you're watching 1080i videos on Youtube.com and downloading 40-50GB Blu-ray movies from Netflix while TIVO-ing two HD shows at the same time, it will work so smoothly on your 50/10 Comcast connection that you will still be able to browse dslreports.com without any difficulty, while it will be impossible on a 10/1 AT&T connection. You're not going to be downloading blu-ray movies from netflix. blu-ray movies are called that because the discs are read by a blue laser. Since when is a downloaded movie read by a laser?
Also Netflix isn't going to offer 40GB movies when most of the country still won't even have 10 mbps speed. Youtube 1080i? please. They won't even support 1.5 mbps bit rates now and most people that have internet have that. |

Since when is a downloaded movie read by a laser? I was referring to the CONTENT on the disc; just as we can download a "cd" and burn it to a blank cd, or download a "DVD" and burn it to a blank DVD. I figured a logical thinker would have been able to figure that out.said by BF69 :Also Netflix isn't going to offer 40GB movies when most of the country still won't even have 10 mbps speed. Youtube 1080i? please. They won't even support 1.5 mbps bit rates now and most people that have internet have that. The statements I made regarding netflix and youtube were PREDICTIONS based on the fact that the technology is available to do those things, they just haven't happened yet. And why wouldn't most of the country not have at least 10mbps speeds? In the last four years, the highest speed offered by Comcast nearest me has gone from 3mbps to 8mbps, so it seems logical to me that in another 4 years they very well could offer at least 20mbps, if not more, especially with the adoption of DOCSIS 3.

Dude, go look up the word "hypathical". If you can not see that he was being hypathical. Then go back to school or something. Just go away. |

Dude, speaking of going back to school, I think you might want to try that. I don't think you'll ba able to find "hypathical" in your dictionary. You might want to try looking up "hypothetical". I think you'll have much better luck. |
