| Re: hmm so your claims are baseless then. If cable can offer a 100/100 package at a cheaper rate then fios then what does it matter if its fiber or coax?
Also the hpna 3.1 spec states they can get 320/320 speeds out of coax. So aslong as the docsis spec keeps growing with what other coax specs can get speed wise cablevision wont have to upgrade to fiber. | |

Specs are just that, specs... They don't mean shit in the real world. I'll believe 100/100 out of cable when I see it. | |

1 edit | Re: hmm OK but it has been tested with narad. Narad doesnt exist anymore but they did get 100/100 speeds cablevision just thought it was too expensive to deploy.
Dont believe me? Go to the optimum online speed test site on dslreports. Look at the top speed. Thats from somebody who was doing narad tests. (narad used switches in diff parts of the coaxial network)
Also comcast did a live speed test in a show in las vegas i think. | |

| Re: hmm that's great that they can get it to work in a testing environment, but like I said, I'll believe it when I see it... when its a regular tier that can be purchased from the cable co. Hopefully sooner than later to really get that competition heating up... | |

| Re: hmm That doesnt help with your argument that fios is just better.
How do you know which docsis 3 equipment cablevision is using. Cisco has docsis 3 equipment that allows a cable company to upgrade to fttp in the future.
So why is fios still just better then?
Also add in the fact that eventually i will be able to go almost anywhere in cablevisions territory and get free wifi access with my cablevision account hwo would fios still be the better service?
Iwould rather have a service that is a little slower but can be accessed anywhere they service then a service that is faster and can only be accessed at home.
Fios has to come up with something to compete with the wifi access. That is i feel going to be a bis plus for cablevision. | |

| that means absolutely nothing. lets see, they can get 100/100, and how many on a node? how many ppl per node will order 100/100? more than one? oh no, cablevision has to increase their backbone to handle that. get real and stop spitting shit out of your ass. fios will always be faster than cablevision because of the simple fact it is ftth and not copper. for some reason i highly doubt that cablevision is going fttp anytime soon, or ever for that matter. | |

| Re: hmm hmm so you failed to go to the optonline dslreports speed test page right? So speed test results are not fact?
how am i talking shit with facts?
here
"62.1m/96.7m Cablevision schenkman @ Nesconset, NY, USA "
Also comcast did a test in las vegas and people with comcast docsis 3 have been getting almost full spee dwith their 50/5 packages.
Also if you read what i wrote the narad tech they where going to use used switches at the node and at the tap so users did not matter . OF course you bash me without reading what i write .
The docsis 3 stuff is a different standard but this proves my point that its not the medium its the standard they are using.
So call me names all you want but i would like to see some facts before telling me i am wrong. | |

Great River, NY | Yea, they can do whatever they want in a testing facility but when they release 50/5 to the public, guess what, everyone is gonna want it. Then what? | |
