| Re: Uhh! OK!! said by BIGDOG_3  :Surprise! Charter is behind. Actually, they are not behind, they do offer faster service that lots of DSL providers, and still faster than lots of cable providers.
What good is providing it if you just offer speeds that other standards could do easy enough.. | |

"Comcast is leading the charge in DOCSIS 3.0 deployment, saying they'll have 20% of their footprint wired by the end of this year. "
"Charter says they'll start testing DOCSIS 3.0 technology in the second half of this year. Actual deployment won't occur until 2009."
What is your definition of "behind"? Because when someone else is ahead of you that means you are BEHIND. At least to me. | |

If you're in a race with 10 people and you come in second you are BEHIND someone. Please look up the definition of BEHIND. 2nd place is the 1st loser. Congrats Charter!
And no Comcast isn't the only cable company they only represent 27% of it. Sorrrrrry. | |

| They are not behind, because while some claim to support it by "so and so year" they are still going to offer same speeds. Its the same with going from DOCSIS 1x to 2x.
Each standard can say "Up to So-and-so speed" improvement, but cable providers never will offer said speeds.
Pretty much all the DOCSIS press releases are just that..press releases that mean squat. | |
