Re: I don't

said by Rob2647:

understand the need for DOCSIS 3 when carriers are not offering full DOCSIS 2 speeds. When we were with Comcast we were still on DOCSIS 1.1 But that was before U-verse really expanded in my area.
Docsis 1.1 or 1.0 are 42mbps/10mbps
Even speed of 50/10 offered only use a fraction of docsis 3 »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS
50/10 are only in select area that compete with verizon
OOL also do this so user won't switch to Verizon Fios, their competitor
OOL cap user for uploading for more then 15min to 150kbps is about 16kb/sec???
Optimum Online can raise the speed all they like but with usage and speed cap its an inferior service to verizon fios infinite usage. No caps and no extra charge for unlimited bandwidth.
For Comcast, Cox, Timewarner, Charter most user are not upgraded yet to higher speed of 10mbit,12mbit,16mbit,20mbit.
The reason is that if their is no higher offering in your area, you will never get the upgrade and will be stuck with their inferior mediocre speed tier of measly 5-8mbit,384k-1mbit

IF your not in an ool territory dont spread lies. OOL does not cap anymore.

So stop with the lies.

Ps cablevision uses docsis 2 and has the boost package which is 38/5 (advertised as 30/5). Download is uncapped meaning the only thing limiting your download speed is node congestion. Upload is at 5 .

Cablevision does not cap anymore. Infact you can have ports 80 and 25 opened up on boost and run those servers. I do not see fios doing that.

To be totally accurate, while the OOL download is uncapped (ie: You will get the max of 38Mbs that the node can handle while allowing for any current congestion related speed reduction OR the speed your source is feeding at after the Internet Latency is allowed for [ie: If it is feeding at 15Mbs, that is what you will get]), the upload is now capped at 5.5Mbs not the 5Mbs you state (when the download was switched from a 30Mbs cap to uncapped, the upload cap was raised from its old 5Mbs to its current 5.5Mbs).

This is true for cable internet anywhere in the world
OOL have upload cap, are you saying this has changed? like comcast its call invisible cap this mean that those who use most will be disconnected. Some Verizon Fios User are Ex OOL User Optimum Online Internet infact paved the way for speed throttling.

1. Max out your connection for 15min or over, you get shaped down to a measly 150kbps
2. You use too much bandwidth... you get your connection shut off.
Comcast is doing this now but they didn't invent the wheel.
If other cable company does it why can't they?
I wish we do away with all these silly cap remember I am not in favor of limited use
I'm against it so don't get me wrong...

Either give us unlimited bandwidth, no traffic shaping or don't do business with any of us.
Instead of who offer the best speed, its who offer the most cap.

I am saying there is no traffic shapping. You have basically 30/5 or 15/2 and can do anything you want with it. If you upload alot you will not get your traffic shaped.
