Re: Guy got simple facts WRONG You're absolutely right. This guys facts and numbers are flat out wrong. $6k for a CMTS? That's pure fantasy. The actual cost is at bare minimum 10x more and realistically more like 15x more. A single card for a UBR10k costs 4-5x more than the price he's quoting. It's not that hard to call up a Cisco reseller and find these facts out. Makes me wonder if this guy just made up these numbers without any fact checking at all.
EDIT: Apparently he's confusing the term CMTS with node. High quality journalism. Splitting nodes doesn't solve bandwidth contention at the HFC level unless you spend the money on more capacity on the CMTS side also. That's the expensive part. |

You are right on the money. A fully loaded Cisco CMTS will cost Hundreds of Thousands of dollars. |
