Re: att said by Kearnstd:an HFC network likely is capable of tons more bandwidth then we have now, however it needs to be 1ghz and have DOCSIS 3.0 You can actually go beyond 1Ghz. Problem is that you have to replace all of the taps, amps, etc. and adjust the spacing of those various network elements. There is already one company, Vyyo, that has products capable of pushing 3Ghz over coax. Problem is getting the plant ready.

Utica, MI | Actually, that isn't true. The Vyyo system is one of the many failed attempts at Ultrawide band. The plant is left alone for the most part, and at certain points the Vyyo gear is installed to inject a data stream or to remove it. It's not practical, so it will fail, like all the others who have attempted before them. |

1 edit | said by imrf:Actually, that isn't true. Based on what ? Their own documentation talks about replacing plant equipment like taps and amps to support 3Ghz.
Or are you talking about the ability to go beyond 1Ghz?

I've been told by people who have sat down face to face with them that some work needs to be done to the plant if your spacing between certain types of equipment isn't right.
