Re: I don't The town north of me still has DOCSIS 1.1 w/o powerboost! So when comcast says 100% by 2010 is a lie. But comcast has nothing to worry about, the DSL provider in that town fastest speed is 1.5/868 for 100$.....

| I know 2010 is far off, but i don't see in anyway getting DOCSIS 3.0 in a town less than 3,000 and offering 50Mbps+ speeds. Peculiar is the farthest town south from KC that has Comcast so i would guess their backbone to that town is not very big. Last time i checked, the fastest speed i could get from Comcast is 8/768, which all i can pull from that is ~6Mbps down at any time.

Last time i checked, the fastest speed i could get from Comcast is 8/768, which all i can pull from that is ~6Mbps down at any time. 1) I am not saying they are not lying, I just couldn't (and can't) see how you know they are. You have not shown any facts that make your position stronger. So far it seems like mean spirited fear mongering on your part, but I await actual proof of Comcast lying. (Comcast has not claimed 50+ megabit speed everywhere, so far as I know, just DOCSIS 3)
2) You seem to be ignoring completely how nice it is for a company if all the equipment uses the same command set. Yes, that implies more capital cost to reduce operational costs, but if Comcast plans to bite that bullet, I applaud them.
3) When I buried cable and wired buildings for my LAN, the computers used 10 meg ethernet and the routers used 100 meg FDDI. (1992) Ten years later, those same fibers and wires were gigabit. Today the fiber can be 10 gigabit. Once you replace the electronics on each end, getting more speed out of fiber is pretty easy and copper is not impossible. If Comcast upgrades 100 per cent of its CMTS to DOCSIS 3, perhaps the bandwidth will be there, held back today by current electronics.
