| Re: statistics said by iansltx:How do you define "geography"? Because you can't get D3 nobody else could possibly have it? Comcast is quite aggressive about their D3 rollout... By geography, one can compare the haves (competitive areas) with the have nots (monopoly, as in not even a telco broadband company) when we're talking about D3 upgrades.. as for me, I have Fios 25/15. Docsis 3 from Cablevision will need to do ALOT better on price to compete with that. The more important point is that docsis 3 broadband tier(s) are not MAINSTREAM yet, though it is clearly in the works to offer something over the 38mbit down 12mbit up as a mainstream tier if not THIS year sometime early next year (for around $50-$65 stand-alone pricing or bundled pricing-- perhaps higher, but I think the residential market won't bite on a higher price). | |

Comcast will have 100% of their customers having Docsis 3.0 by the end of this year. And something like 20% of all internet users in the US get their internet form Comcast. | |

kudos:9 | Re: statistics said by Karl Bode:Actually I believe Comcast is pretty quickly approaching 80% upgraded, if not higher... Agreed, especially since I know there are more DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS on the network now then there are DOCSIS 1.x/2.0 ones. | |

Given that D3 is a headend upgrade, I'd think it would be rather easy to upgrade an entire area to D3. | |

1 edit | Re: statistics said by beachintech:Not entirely. Some field work is required for amping additional return carriers. Agreed but it's still not as extensive as say a FTTH deployment. In other words there is relatively little plant investment to deploy D3. | |
