DOCSIS 3

Sigh...where's my DOCSIS 3 tech? It's 2009 and TWC hasn't made any plans to employ the technology anywhere.

Anyways, monopolies and incumbents always exhibit self-destructive behavior. They become become so fattened off the profitable rewards of their non-competitive market they have no idea how to react when things start to change.

A good case to back up your point: Look no further than Frontier here in Elk Grove, Ca. They are generally lost as to how react to competition. They took the low road as far as download speeds, and they plan on staying there as long as they can.

I was shocked that CenturyTel offers 20 mbit fiber and 2 by 10 mbit DSL in my Olive Branch Mississippi office. 99.99 for business grade (no filters/ports blocked) and 16 IPs. Thats what I pay for 1 static and 768k/7.1 mbit (I only get 6) in VZ territory.

I want D2 and ADSL2 at least. Everyone else gets ADSL2+/D3/FiOS and the rest of us get.....jacked.
