Re: Docsis 3? said by ztmike:If a certain area is heavily congested and its not on D3..the logic to me would be to upgrade to Docsis 3 and split some nodes. Not "manage" peoples connection that they pay full price for.  ISPs consider only those areas without a FiOS or U-Verse option to be "heavily congested." For some strange reason, only areas without competition need to be "managed" more.

My area has been upgraded to Docsis 3 and my speed jumped from 6/2 to 12/2 for free..and I get my full speeds if the server I'm downloading from can even do it.
I don't live in a to big of an area..so that's probably why I get full speeds.
I just think its bullshit what Comcast is doing to its customers with traffic management and monthly bandwidth caps, then they don't even provide the bandwidth meter! lol
Until they get a "working" meter, they shouldn't have a cap. The customer shouldn't be the one to figure out how much bandwidth he/she uses. Or what Comcast itself goes by to be their "actual" numbers.
So far (in my eyes) Docsis 3 is nothing but marketing hype, and the fact that these ISP's that have Docsis 3 and still cap users just goes to show how much greed they have. |

| Why would you be willing to accept a cap even if they provided a meter? Caps don't make economical or technical sense. |
