| said by tbaker397  :This is DOCSIS 3.0 Speeds which are being talked about in 2008! Most modems now can't even handle a 50/50 connection, let alone 100/100. I doubt Cablevision will be around in 2008.... Seems like Adelphia all over again, huh?
After reading all 37 pages of the capping discussion OOL, there is no WAY they can provide this service. They offer full duplex 100 Mb connections, but if you use that upload for one minute, they bring back to 150 Kbps. LOL I could just see that happening based on the current situation.
It seems like CV is jumping too far in the future. Even Cox is having some trouble stablizing the system upgrade to DOCSiS 2.0 in NoVA. What makes you think CableVision, a much smaller company with less capital, could do the same? I see this as unrealistic and view it as a "last" strike against Verizon FiOS, but 100, or even 50, will probably not happen for a LONG time. The only way cable companies are going to be able to compete with FiOS is by running their own FTTH program. They already have fiber to the nodes, why not extend that out? Or even FTTP would be good enough, say 5 fibers to every block. 4 fibers for data, and 1 single fiber for ALL digital/High Def TV, where it then transfers to one Cat5 for data, and Coax for TV, to each house.
