00000 | VZ should blow them away... with their next tier: 150Mbps or 200Mbps for $98 |

kudos:3 | to do anything past 100 I think VZ would have to replace their fiber copper converter that they put on the house
I bet it only does 100base-t on the copper side |

If it wasn't for the little bit of competition in this space - Verizon would still be called ISDN "High Speed Internet" and charging $100 a month for it plus usage fees. |

Verizon should offer 120/25 for $90 and 155/30 for maybe $120 in CV markets. The higher tier would require more bandwidth than a 4-channel-down 1-channel-up DOCSIS 3 connection can handle. This of course will send CV scurrying back to the drawing board since upstream bonding isn't available yet (when it is VZ just has to up the upload speeds as needed, if CV decides to compete there) and neither is 8-channel downstream bonding. Game, set, match. Since people can't really reach those speeds anyway due to most servers being on 100 Mbit ports these days, it's really a parlor trick on Verizon's part, but a whole lot less expensive one compared to OOL having to share their DOCSIS channels very conservatively to get those speeds out of copper.
Then again, CV might strike back with NARAD. Yummy yummy... |

Probably the same. My Alcatel can be provisioned for Gigabit service.
If I had to guess, it seems that the GPON ONT's can definitely be configured for up to a Gigabit on the customer side. |

kudos:21 | MoCa I believe is rated up to 320Mbps via the Coax. Might be a bit high though. |

The only FTTH upgrade/hack-on for HFC operators I know of is Aurora Networks. |

| Ciena also makes equipment for MSOs not just telcos. |

kudos:1 | I only saw fiber equipment that maybe MSOs could use. I saw no coax or broadcast TV or MPEG or DOCSIS equipment on their site.
They seem to target telcos, DSL, RTs, SONET, fiber optic multiplexers, their MSO products are just telco products an MSO could use in their SLAed business broadband side business. |
