caps are to keep cord cutters at bay. don't hold your breath.

The little extra boost on the upload is nice..but I see they updated the speeds on their Caps page but the same exact 400/250/200, etc numbers are there. Meh... yawn...this is stupid and really does nothing. It was only to pacify people that complained of the price increase. The expense of these extra speeds was absolutely ZERO unless of course you count the changes on the website and pushing the config files. |

| Really? So all the hard costs on infrastructure for D3 upgrades and network backhaul from CMTS to peering points were free? Amazing! |

D3 has been here since the last upgrade.
I just don't see the point... let's give people faster internet so they use up the cap faster. It's like getting a bigger trailer to haul stuff around with but the your new bigger trailer hauls the same exact weight as the last. Wha??? |

| Not sure what all of this talk about caps is about. I almost always far exceed my cap (sometimes two to four fold) and haven't had any complaints. A friend of mine far south in the valley says he hasn't heard any either. |

Well, I tried it about 3 times this morning.
Still no where near 100mbps. |

Heh. The cable is mini RG59 - you can find it pre-assembled with the ends in a number of places. We, being a cable company, make our own, of course. 
It isn't supposed to be used for high bandwidth, high frequency digital signals as it is not well shielded (only single - RG6 comes in double or quad shield), but that particular cable is 10 feet or so to our in-lab tap, so it works well enough. Plus, as you noticed, it's a lot more flexible and easier to run where we need it in a cramped lab.
Official line: Use RG6. Everywhere. |

Optimus2357 was asking what that thin coax cable in the picture at the start of this thread was.
We still have some in our lab for the short connections from the tap into some of the test cable modems. |

Oh thanks for the answer. I was hoping maybe it was something new. I have always wondered why the basic design (with improvements) have stayed the same so long. Imagine coaxial with ThermaVolt dielectric insulation, graphite nano-wrap shielding and a ICP core. Were talking cable so thin you could lay it on the wall and paint over it and not even notice. Ahh yes, but it all boils down to cost and compatibility. That's why RJ11 hasn't changed in what..60 years? |

@CoxVegas - Thanks for all your hard work on this.
On Ultimate, I'm seeing max. 115/4 to both speedtest.net and test.lvcm.com. Sometimes the 4 is a 3. Should I be seeing more?
