said by iansltx:My point exactly. TWC has said that they will be launching DOCSIS 3 in the San Antonio area (which probably means here in Fredericksburg soon after) the first half of this year. One problem: they don't seem to have D3 nailed down in NYC (it's possible to do a launch well, see Comcast) and the DL/UL speeds are an unimpressive 50/5. Both local telephone cooperatives in this area (GVTC toward San Antonio, HCTC where I am) are rolling out fiber with 10 Mbps uploads. TWC will have to do some relatively major plant upgrades to get their service up to that speed, which costs money. Money that they can't get from customers because this increased competition is driving prices downward. Looks like their fat profit pillow is going to suffer here.
Which is fine. They deserve it.
