Give it time... or are you too one of the same people that said "640k of memory is good 'nuff for anyone" ? ;)

davidhoffman posted : I think change will come slowly. The "smart grid" operations that electric power companies seek can be best obtained by putting in fiber optic networks. With multiple fiber strands electric utilities have found they can do the whole triple play operation in addition to managing electricity usage. They already control the lines leading up to the meter, so putting fiber alongside is usually within their easement or right of way regulations. That may be the only way to get real competition in the USA.

bakorican posted : Almost all of Germany is on VDSL with 50/10 starting at 29.99 with some providers, again thats inclusive of a fone with unlimited calling and unlimited internet. For an extra 3,94 a month you get unlimited "world" calling to around 70 countries in the world, inclusive all of North America.

All this is made possible by intense competition.

I lived in the US for 26 years and just moved to Germany 4 years ago and was shocked what a technological backwater the US has become.

bakorican posted : We don't have limits of any sort here in Germany on our cable connections, and I pay 29.95 a month for 120 mbit connection and that includes telefon service.

Deutsche Telekom will start offering a triple play package over fiber with 200/100 connection, telefon and TV for around 50 a month.

We have so much competition here that no provider would survive trying to meter internet. Only wireless internet gets throttled to 128k after you reach your package limit.

Also don't forget copper was once theoretical stuff as well.

rradina posted : I'm assuming they did this using their existing plant. They did mention that they upgraded it to 862Mhz but I think a lot of US cable plants already have 1Ghz or more of usable spectrum.

Regardless, this isn't about the CPE (12 modems). It's about the head end. This was achieved with a single CMTS and it certainly demonstrates a lot of bandwidth over coax.

If they used their real network, the school isn't right next door to the CMTS, the CMTS is available for deployment (or already installed), then this is more of what they can do now or certainly within the year. Granted, no single customer will get these speeds but that's still a lot of bandwidth demonstrated over coax.

This is just the reality of coax vs. UTP copper and why cable is eating DSL's breakfast, lunch and dinner. A single conductor that's shielded from ingress has a lot of potential when used for the last mile in a HFC plant.

It was done on existing copper, wasn't it? I figured they just had a 12 way splitter at the end to hook up all the modems, and the reason for all the modems was just that a single cable modem today couldn't handle the full bandwidth by itself.

The Germans could have used four of those new Arris Puma6-MG modems that can bond 24 channels instead of 8 ;)

Why not figure a way to get decent speeds with existing copper or whatever, instead of all this "theoretical' stuff. Even if we could get it it would be expensive or at least they would make it so and you would hit your caps in microseconds
