Re: this is going to suck... :(

Don't sweat it too much buddy. I'm in Charlotte and we had to open our lines to Earthlink, AOL, and Max.inter.net and the service still rocks....the download and upload caps were put into place to help with the worries that you expressed. If push comes to shove and the service degrades; TWC just pops in another node to handle the load in that area. That's something DSL can't do......It'll be fine.

Clarify this please. The way I see it is actually easier to do this with a dsl setup than with a cable setup. With dsl the capacity augmentation is done only at the CO. With cable, adding a node involves working at the street level and depending how good/bad the network was designed it may involve having to run more underground lines thru the street to feed the new node, correct me if I'm wrong.
