It's going to be a year or two until we see this really start rolling out in some places in CV's territory. Reason? FIOS rollouts need to catchup and put some more heat on CV. CV just finished their rollout of free 15/2 to everyone, so now Verizon needs to do something to counteract that.
VZ has already countered by raising the FIOS speeds (at no additional charge) from 15/2 to 20/5 in the areas it competes with CV.

 Yeah Cablevision will probably deploy this in places where there is 20/5 FIOS for 45$ per month. Does this mean Verizon may crank up speeds to as much as 100/100? Does this mean Verizon may actually be at a disadvantage with their upload being 155 per node? or is the new Cablevision technology also shared.

CV fiber has the same limitations as VZ.

VZ has up to 32 users per fiber backhauled all the way to CO. How many CV customers are there per fiber strand? I bet its more.

My point being, if CV doesn't have the network infrastructure to provide the bandwidth end to end then providing a 100/100Mbps connection to a user is pointless.
