Re: It is about making money We all know that you must work for a cable company.
Cause you seem to try an counter anyone sugesting the cable company is ripping us off.
Most cable companys have pulled this same logic you are sporting over and over again. It seem every other year they claim they need to upgrade the network and come up with some reason to charge us more. I get tripe play, but the cost for TV has doubled in four years. Internet has went from $15 a month to $50 a month in four years for the lowest speed. It tripled. They gave me the speed and said i needed it, but i would just as soon get 1.5meg for $15 a month instead of 60 meg for $140.
It cable company need to think bigger and put in fiber in the areas they have before someone comes along and dose it before them. That is where we are all going. Upgrading there network time after time over and over again and just increaseing the network just enough to say they did it is not going to fly anymore. |

My objective is simply to inject some basis of reality into the discussion from my personal experience of large network design, implementation, and operation.
One common theme I've noticed in every one of these threads is that there tends to be a lot of "armchair quarterbacking" on provider costs and expansion by people who clearly have absolutely no operational history in a large network environment. |
