Re: precursor for things to come...? said by patcat88:No fiber to the node is upgraded for DOCSIS 3. The fiber is simply a very very very very low loss coaxial cable back to the head end. i understand that. the idea of my post was to say that comcast will upgrade from the node to the premise (last mile coax) to docsis3 spec, but will not spend the appropriate money to upgrade their backend fiber to the headend. obviously, if you run higher speeds from the premise to the node, then you will need a higher speed transport from the node back to the cable's isp. if comcast has some nodes that are maxed already with only docsis2 (or docsis1.1), then they will obviously need to upgrade to a bundle of gig links, or use some dwdm sfps at either end.
my argument that comcast will push higher speeds to the user, without upgrading everything else behind it. as such, they will be forced to lower the caps from 250gb and not take any flak because "users have a monitor in which they can view their monthly usage, as well as a three-month history of such"
