Houston, TX | You've Got it Backwards TWC IS wrong, theoretically. If there are any cases of performance degradation (and only AT&T could say this for sure), this would be a technical situation. Theoretically, AT&T's network is designed to sustain the advertised speeds.
I really don't think it's a good idea for Cable, which uses shared bandwidth for users per node, to criticize anyone about performance degradation. VDSL degradation should theoretically be constant (unless it's some outside force not related to HDTV signals); Cable gets slow at the times when people actually want to use the internet (and instead of being a hypothetical without actual evidence - there are many users who have experienced slowdown at peak usage times due to shared channel usage).
Instead of suing TWC, AT&T should start running attack ads and put them in their place.
(Well, no, it would be better if they competed on features and price - but since TWC is resorting to BS I don't really have a problem with AT&T doing the same). |

Beverly Hills, CA | said by Sahrin:TWC IS wrong, theoretically. If there are any cases of performance degradation (and only AT&T could say this for sure), this would be a technical situation. Theoretically, AT&T's network is designed to sustain the advertised speeds. I guess you do not have U-Verse otherwise you would not have made the above statement. It is a well known fact that if you are on the highest internet service plan that your profile can handle if you have are using your TV with more than 1 HD then your full internet bandwidth is not available. ie 19/2 profile with Max internet service, 25/3 with Max Plus internet or 32/5 with Max Turbo internet service.

I guess you do not understand how cable nor how DSL or VDSL2 works, both are shared at some point and neither is a dedicated service, Cable is shared @ the nod and U-Verse is shared at the DSLAM which in effect is almost the same as a Node because everyone in your area is hooked up to the same VRAD, so if the Vrad is overloaded it will effect everyone on that Vrad.
Also if you turn on your TV that does not effect your internet service at all on cable and on U-Verse depending on the internet plan you choose it could impact your service if you are on any of the max plans depending on your profile like stated above. |

| All of the internet is shared. that's how it was built and will always be. It's just all shared at different parts.

There is no 25/3 speed profile.
The affect of TV on internet is fairly minor. |
