Re: This is pathetic...

But its the contracts they might have in place that make the whole bandwidth crunch a falicy. Comcast is now trying to sell you advertising via their psuedo " online tv" on bandwidth that wasn't supposed to be there. Wasn't this the justification for the caps in the first place?

Backbone capacity is only loosely related to access capacity. I don't care how many 10GigE, 40GigE, or 100GigE pipes you have in the core, at the edge you're still limited to 38mbps 6MHz channels on a 750-1000MHz DOCSIS plant that has to be shared between video and data services.

You can have all of the capacity in the world at the core, and it doesn't help you one bit when you run into issues at the edge.
