Re: Upload said by iansltx:Good question. Comcast appears to be comfortable giving people 10 Mbps connections on the high end. Then again, Comcast doesn't put very many houses on a node compared with other cable systems, so Cox may not have a much headroom. Some Cox markets have very few homes on a node. I never drop below advertised speeds here. They've done a great job of network management in Vegas, now if they'd just upgrade speeds.

| Cool. I was just speculating on why Cox oesn't have 10 Mbps uploads on its highest tier.
Here in Texas, TWC actually gives advertised speeds...and then some due to PowerBoost...on all their tiers. They apparently don't have too many homes per node.
At school I have Comcast. They also give advertised speeds...and then some...so their nodes aren't overloaded either.
On the flip side, companies like Suddenlink are very conservative about their speed tiers because they have lots of houses per node and thus don't have the excess capacity needed to launch super-fast broadband connectivity. |
