Now MSOs can STFU about metered billing too

Cisco's router doesn't magically turn coax into fiber unfortunately...

MSOs long-running complaint nowadays is that heavy users should pay for the bandwidth they consume as though subscribers are pushing up carrier's costs of delivering network access besides addressing issues of local saturation on the coax network.

Now that DOCSIS 3 is here, that should make the argument of saturation finally die, except it hasn't.

There's "only" 152 Mbps of capacity on a four channel DOCSIS 3 node, so still not a ton...
