Grove City, PA | So what happens to those that have service? Are they going to leave them without TV, internet, and possibly home phone for possibly weeks while they redo it all and rewire all the homes? I don't think they could get away with laying coax along the sidewalks

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority. |

cox around here has maintenance windows from midnight to 4am.
you have to remember that there is already fiber to the node in all cable plants. there exists only hardline from the node to each pedestal/tap and then your typical rg6-qs to the nid on the house. assuming this works as it is claimed, you set up actives at the pedestal that you are wanting to upgrade, and you essentially bump the node further down in the plant. customers are still using docsis for hsi and typical cable boxen to receive signal. once the customer premise is scheduled for the upgrade, you run the fiber to the home and disconnect his cable line from the pedestal. you're essentially running two plants concurrently until all users are migrated from the coaxial plant.

| It also helps that cisco now has equipment that does both docsis and ftth. |
