said by patcat88:And IP based cable IPTV services will magically be highest priority. And this is all a front for ISPs not wanting to pay for bigger backbone and peering links. Watch the caps roll out, 10GB high priority, 100GB low priority, $1 a GB after 100GB low priority.
1000 cable modems per node FOREVER!!!!!
A major part of the problem is not the backbone and peering links but the lack of adequate bandwidth on the "Last Mile" link (ie: Between the Customer and the Cable Company's Head End). IOW: Congestion on the Last Mile not between the Head End and the Internet.
