Re: Whats everybody so happy about? It also becomes a question of what it takes to get from point A to point B. If Brian Roberts and Comcast really wanted to bump download speeds to 3 Mbps, they could be pushing new modem configuration files to the millions of cable modems hooked to their network as I type this. Are the local systems currently capable of supporting higher download bandwidth? Or will it take nationwide upgrades (i.e. DOCSIS 2.0 CMTS units) to support it? Will it come with a rate increase?
This could be neat from a consumer side if this happens and the Telcos and overbuilders make counter-moves. It will be interesting to see who blinks first... |
