Re: [TWC] TWC SoCal speed upgrades information
I was hearing that a lot of people are getting 10M/1M for the same price as my 6M/512....When I can get it at 2AM. This SUX ASS! I'll jump ship first chance I get! |

I can get 10m/1m at all times of the day just about, with a few very rare exceptions (and I do mean rare). I hope the same holds true when they finally put the upgrade into effect here.  |

Sure. Speed upgrades seem to happen on a headend-by-headend basis. So if a speed upgrade were dependent upon these hardware upgrades, minimally, we'd have to wait until the upgrades were complete all across town, or TW may decide to announce an upgrade for the whole LA area at a much later time.
All that said, I just think there must be some purpose to all of the recent work and upgrades being done. Re-deploying all of that equipment can't be cheap! |

Yes there is a purpose... especially since the bandwidth ABOVE 860Mhz isn't currently usable by any CURRENTLY issued cable equipment. The new MPEG4 boxes and DOCSIS 3 modems can use it though...
Having all the various systems in SoCal using mostly the same gear and same architecture has definite cost savings and engineering benefits in the future. Gotta remember before Adelphia came into the area in 2000 the area was split up by over a dozen different providers, all with different designs and equipment. Adelphia fixed some of that but there was still alot to go. |
