Re: FTTH with Cable? Not Likely! Do you actually work for CableOne? If so, pray tell why they haven't put their capacity to good use and pushed DOCSIS 3 speeds over their oh-so-brilliant coax.
Also, "more than enough" doesn't equal" superior" in terms of capacity. You use the infrastructure because it's there, not because it's the best. GPON setups nowadays can push a 1 GHz coax feed on one wavelength and 2.488/1.244 Gbit shared internet on another two wavelengths. You lose cable at the 1GHz market nine times out of ten (plant tends to be 750-860 MHz) and even 1GHz cable plant can't compete with 1GHz AND a large internet feed.
Don't get me wrong, I like my 22/5 Comcast connection. But I defy you to find me a single US operator who offers 20 Mbps up on a coaxial system. There aren't any, plain and simple. Fiber operators do this on a regular basis (not just FiOS). |
