| San Jose is a large city and probably the same head end as Sunnyvale. The upgrades will all probably finish around the same time. They probably are going from a 550Mhz system to some in the range of 850-1000Mhz system. That will be a very good thing for the Bay Area. |

said by gcy72683  :What about San Jose? I thou San jose is one of the biggest city in U.S. The San Jose rebuild was completed over a year ago. It is currently an 860 system. Sunnyvale, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Milpitas and a few other cities’ are still 550 systems. We don’t have OnDemand or get near the number of channels the 750 and 860 systems get. Comcast is just trying to get these older systems up to par with the rest of the Bay Area. |

Redwood Valley, CA | That's what our system is up here in Mendocino County, we were an Adelphia area, and were transitioned to Comcast earlier this year. They are doing a ton of upgrades up here, and CDV, OnDemand and more channels are coming soon. |

Can Comcast supply Triple Play on a 550 system? I have a friend in Campbell, who would likely be on the same system as San Jose; and he has Triple Play.

Comcast door-knob hanger. |
said by gcy72683 :What about San Jose? I thou San jose is one of the biggest city in U.S. My part of San Jose was upgraded about two and a half years ago. I still have the door-knob hanger a Comcast rep left; with an expiration date on the offer of 3/31/05. They went from the old gray hard line to new coax, which had originally been installed by ATTBI, but never lit up by them.
I don't know if that part of the plant is included in the upgrade; but nothing has been changed on the poles since then. Comcast HSI was not even available here until that work was completed.

1 edit | Wow, you guys got HSI late! Adelphia got it here in 2002, digital cable came the year before in 2001. Comcast is doing some major upgrades here now that they've assumed Adelphia's operations (we were transitioned earlier this year). |

Last time I checked, DSL was considered HSI. When I checked in February, 2001, Comcast cable HSI was not available, but Pacific Bell DSL was. That is when I signed up.

San Jose, CA | I guess Cox wouldn't be HSI, either. I think they, or Charter serve some nearby communities.
