| Cable Sharing speed is moot All Speeds of the Internet are shared. INCLUDING DSL. The internet is NOT dedicated no matter how much the Telco tells you that it is. It's an old marketing stunt that is still done by telcos that want to gain more customers. Especially the ones that believe them.

It was very noticeable with GCI hypernet (cable modem). |

| chances are the Telco didn't have very many people on that DSLAM (which is stupid in terms of ROI).
And as far as the "maybe" check it out on here, you'll find out that ALL internet regardless of the connection is shared at some point. The point where it is shared does vary but it's there.

It is not a marketing stunt as to bandwidth being dedicated. There is a major difference between a cable modem platform and a DSL platform. The reasoning behind this is your DSL uses a copper pair that goes from your house to the central office for the telco where a DSLAM is located. From the DSLAM it then goes onto their larger "pipe" if you will. There is no inbetween. In cable modem platforms they go between CMTS points where the DOCSIS platforms encrypts / tags each packet and pushes it through it's network. The dedicated term comes from the point that you go straight from the customers prem to the central office without any intermediate equipment. |
