| bandwidth... most of the extra bandwidth would be used for video.. not internet access. 720p hidef mpeg4 and 128kbit audio/music channels (cable-tv). 64-128kbit for Voip. 15-200mbit for Internet.... the 50+ megabit speeds to arrive once telco ramps up speeds and / or lowers prices (gets serious about competition). it's all eye candy given the condition of our national economy right now. yes, there has to be a transition to docsis 3.0 underway, but much like what happened to dsl, or FTTP, cable companies are not in a position to unload truck fulls of money (tens of billions) on docsis 3.0 in a rush to answer isolated BPON FTTP deployments already covered in maxed out 2.0 connections (think cablevision's maxed out 30/5 plan as an uncapped downstream, but capped upstream vs Verizon's 20/20, 50/20 internet... sure the FTTP is faster on the upload but cablevision's optimum boost is a comparably & competitively priced product at $45-65 vs $90-150 for 50/20). |
