Re: Comcast increasing its upstream channel bonding activity"Channel bonding doesn't do anything to increase overall upstream capacity, but it does combine several channels to boost peak upstream speeds"
Isn't that factually incorrect? More channels = more capacity, it has nothing to do with "peak" speeds. |

What will Comcast do when Verizon starts offering speeds faster than 150mbps? |

It can better load balance the data as they have the channels already (ok not always) they just aren't bonded so if you end up with a few light users on one channel and a bunch of heavy users on another then they aren't very balanced but then bond them together and its better balanced and can give higher burst speeds so in saying it doesn't add capacity while technicaly true it does better make use of the capacity, and then they're also cleaning up the upstream to allow more of the upstream channels to be used, or used at higher QAM configs though I agree the wording is suspect as it can be misleading to some and thus shows some bias |

Maybe migrating to EPoC (Ethernet PON over Coax) - see: DPoE, EPoC: What's It All About?

Gotta love it, it amazes me how many ways "they" have found to increase cable internet speeds... 5 years ago I was lucky to have something like 3\.7 and now I have 25\4 for roughly the same price. 15 years ago I was thrilled when my modem would connect at 33kbps to AOL Can't wait to see what epoc brings |

What is the highest upstream bandwidth a customer can have on 1 64QAM channel? 10mbps? I'm not asking the maximum possible, but rather the maximum a customer is able to subscribe to... |

Some areas have the Extreme tiers provisioned with 15 Mb/s upload. |

Some areas have the Extreme tiers provisioned with 15 Mb/s upload. Which means that more channels can provide better consistency even if on a lower than max plan |
