said by dontworry: 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.
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. -- "Look, If I warm up my breasts with my hands, do you think they'll get bigger or smaller?" - Asuka on the subject of thermal expansion |
