Yes. One node is one neighborhoods view of Rogers. but there is no way to fix the problem. because when people call in, they claim the lines are fine. my problem is more that rogers did not upgrade extreme to a faster speed, however they somehow felt they could handle upgrading express before speeding up the customers that paid more. and in some cases end up hurting them more.

They likely have not gotten around to increasing capacity in your area yet. They can't do all areas at once, it's rather expensive. With cable it's always unfortunately "UP TO".
cable and DSL is always up to. None of them are dedicated. The bandwidth is always shared at some point. Just with Cable its deeper into the network than DSL at the DSLAM. -- www.two-pugs.com www.2pugs.etsy.com
Difference is capacity is easier to maintain on DSL rather than on an HFC network where you need to maintain multiple nodes and spectrum use. It's getting better with DOCSIS but still quite limited compared to DSL. The big issue with DSL is distance which is where bandwidth capacity at the last mile becomes an issue.
