·Verizon FiOS

Hmmm....

I'll believe when I'll see it. And how will that tier cost? Knowing the Comcast record on delivering anything on time I would not be holding my breath for 50/50 Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 by 2010 from them. Chances are that by the time Comcast delivers 50/50 sometime by 2015, Verizon will be providing 100/100 or more for $30/month. In the past 3 years Comcast hasn't delivered a single big item product. They still have not deployed DOCSIS 2.0, Switched Digital Video (SDV), a decent modern TV guide, OCAP, Multistream CableCard, DSG and a lousy selection of HD channels to name a few.

With bandwidth throttling and other questionable practices I would not be surprised if by 2010-2015 they wouldn't have the customer base to sell that 50/50 tier.

Pretty amazing, I just hope it doesn't vanish in the wind similar to the announcement Cablevision made with their OOL Ultra product.

I don't know about the 100/100 price but FiOS is delivering 50/50 right now (East Coast regions) and soon a 100/100.

And switching from BPON to GPON doesn't require any hardware/software upgrades to existing equipment in the field.

The problem with the ultra package was that it was using a proprietary product. A better one but proprietary product none the less . Narad went out of business and it was too expensive to setup.

Why must the cablesystems go with docsis. We know that coax can handle more bandwidth and also that fiber can handle tons more so why is it that docsis nodes have so little capacity?
