Colorado Springs, CO | Re: Not a chance in hell Price for speed is entirely relative. If the telco's want a network that provides all that bandwidth they will re-allocate pricing on the call center and other intercarrier connections so facilitate the increased expectation of bandwidth usage.
Several colo's I know of are now expanding to multigigabit trunking inside the datacenter in anticipation of interafcing with higher capacity telco circuits.
You also have to remember a web page request from start to finish is about a megabyte on a media rich page. And lately we've seen with higher speed connections your limit is the ability of your PC to process the html, images, javascript, macromedia flash and shockwave files and other things and display them on the page. Some tests have shown the data transfer halting nearly 2 seconds before the page is actually displayed.
It will all work out. Bandwidth is the ultimate economy of size. | |

| | For now.. For now, take it with the same grain of salt that Adelphia's 15-20megabit announcements have, namely vaporware.. its good to hear, makes you feel good about what's coming, but until it happens.. Nada.
Plus this is a big 'if', what would the price structure look like? Would a 50 or 100mbit tier of broadband be included in a triple play package? Not likely.
Would it be $40, $50, $60, More? Probably more than $60 bundled or not. Don't even get your hopes up of getting back your 10mbits which IS the current advertised speeds which are relatively FULLY capable of the current netowrk, but not offered (keep this in mind when thinking about that quantum leap forward).
Plus, once speeds go OVER 100mbits, which is THE line-in-the-sand for broadband speed wars.... YOU NEED A NEW ROUTER, and GIGABIT ETHERNET CARDS/motherboards(if it has it on the board), etc... which are not making the rounds in networking companies drawing boards yet... much less full-scale production!
So really, its a race to the 100mbit symmetrical finishline for now until we get some gigabit routers! | |

| said by Jafo232:Great 100 down, that rocks, unfortunately, I bet the upload stays the same. wrong. 50 up. 50 down is what they are going to offer to the households. They will only have 100 homes on a node instead of the 325 they average now. The Narad stuff can do (in theory) up to " 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps symmetric Ethernet to be carried, in the last mile, over any combination of fiber, coax, and wireless transmission media." »www.naradnetworks.com/pr_062805.html
Additionally this is QoS enabled, that means that they can actually 'guarantee' the speed levels. The current system is not QoS enabled.
This is going to be CV/OOL's future, the existing bandwidth may be phased out for OV which requires 120k (to be safe) per household using it. How many OV homes in a node to saturate and degrade everyone else? CV is making a new OV push and is willing to rewire your home to use OV at any phone jack (yeah, I know other companies have been doing this) but this makes the end-user start-up cost is highly reduced since they don't have to get a multiple unit wireless handsets to cover the house.
The existing bandwidth could also be used to expand the CV iO and allow more bandwidth for HD.....
The big question is how long to deploy? It took them 6 years to deploy the existing network everywhere. They have to visit every silver box out there, and put 3-4 Narad Switches and 1 of the Narad combiner boxes in each (or mount the Narad boxes closer to homes and put up more boxes). How many of these Narad boxes are being made and how fast?
It wouldn't surprise me, if the end-user box was a monthly rental instead of an outright purchase or free. This would allow an advertised price that was competitive to FIOS.

NYC Metro | The Facts.... With existing CV infrastructure (Docsis 1.1 and current node sharing) would NOT allow this type of bandwidth. Now if they were to upgrade to perhaps Docsis 3 they maybe could offer something like this but I bet it will be expensive. Myself and many others were expecting the next OOL upgrade to be in the line of 20mbps down / 5 mbps up. No one expected this much, but hey if they can do it I won't ask. I think it is wrong for us to all assume what CAN and what CAN'T happen on Cablevisions network.
I was told MANY times by CV reps that CV would soon be offering a speed that would blow FIOS out of the water. I actually called them up a few times to ask what CV would do to compete with FIOS. I wonder if this is true? If it is CV will have to offer me a SUBSTANTIAL amount of more speed (30mbps at least) to win me over since Verizons 15/2 package at $45.95/month has my name all over it. I also plan on getting Verizon TV services which will be MUCH cheaper than OOL and provide a lot more features.....
CV better work fast because they are about to lose a loyal customer.... And I'm not the only one in this area, I can see a couple million leaving in the coming years.For this area FIOS is a tech that is being installed in 70 towns nearby and within 3 years should be ALL over the place.

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.

Yes I agree that some people overuse their connection, but OOL just goes overboard with their capping.

| | | | Re: Read The Article? Its a docsis 2.0 flavor... capable of upto 400-500mbit symmetrical per node... Althoug 50-100mbit per user is likely. As most people generally don't hog the entire bandwidth all the time, this is still a shared network whereby even at the symmetrical speed -- if you upload near the 50mbit cap, your download speed gets compromised due to the acks being sent back are lagged... but this would probably account for a 10% decrease in speed (say 4-9megabits degrease).
Still, price, availability, and actual USAGE are key factors-- is this sustainable cost-wise to cablevision? OR have subscribers been keenly "conditioned" to expect not to peg the service up 50/50 24/7/365?
How severe would a "cappage" be?
What will verizon's response be? Sit and wait, for how long after its been released? IMHO, Verizon can't take the chance that cablemodems provide faster speed than their best package at a fraction of the cost, especially not in their home-core market. (NY METRO) | |

1 edit | It's ethernet over coax.
DOCSIS 2 certainly cannot do 4-500Mbit symettrical per node without extensive work to the point where the node is more like a hubsite. You've still got the 42MHz limit on upstream path and there's only so much you can pack into the 37MHz max you can get out of that. Max for an upstream on DOCSIS 2 is 30.8Mbps. It's impossible with DOCSIS 2 to achieve 50Mbps in either direction.
Downstreams on DOCSIS 2 are still limited to 38Mbps as well, even giving each user their own downstream / CMTS card they could still only reach 38Mbit.

You will ndeed a new Broadband Interface Unit. You cable modem will not work with this new system.
The Narad Broadband Access Network (NBAN) is a switched Ethernet overlay that touches the cable plant with only passive filters. NBAN provides an additional 100 Mbps upstream plus 100 Mbps downstream on each of the four coaxial cable trunks in a hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) fiber node. This allows cable operators to deliver new broadband IP services while preserving existing network infrastructure and services. The Narad solution coexists with all existing network elements without requiring replacement of any existing network equipment.
NBAN is a network infrastructure solution that brings the capacity advantages of a fiber optic infrastructure to the coaxial portion of the HFC network - at a much lower cost than pure fiber solutions.
By utilizing our technology, operators can augment the ROI of their existing HFC plant by extending the network to support new IP services.
Utilizes frequency range that is unused in today's existing HFC architectures
100 Mbps per coaxial cable trunk (typically 4 per node) of switched symmetrical Ethernet with QoS
100 Mbps technology coexists with existing taps
NBAN leverages the spectrum between 908 MHz and 1.08 GHz to deploy switched 100 Mbps Ethernet over existing physical coaxial connections and cost-effectively utilizes the higher-frequency spectrum by creating shorter runs and regenerating signals at shorter intervals. This previously unused spectrum is made productive by dividing the tree-and-branch coaxial network into a number of point-to-point coaxial segments linked by switching elements. Additional bandwidth beyond 860 MHz can therefore be effectively used for transmitting and receiving high data rate signals while maintaining acceptable signal characteristics. Since the "switch&repeat" architecture regenerates the IP traffic at each switch, ingress noise is not propagated. The result is a very high performance network.
NBAN Elements
The Narad Broadband Access Network (NBAN) allows cable operators to cost-effectively deploy incremental services on their existing HFC networks using standard switched Ethernet.
NBAN is comprised of four hardware elements, of which only the passive filters reside on the HFC network:
Optical Network Distribution Switch (ONDS)
Narad Access Switch (NAS)
Narad Diplex Filter (NDF)
Broadband Interface Unit (BIU) with Customer Premise Filter (CPF)
The ONDS is co-located with the existing HFC node, and is fed by two separate wavelengths from the existing fiber optic cables. No new fiber is installed. Narad Access Switches are collocated with existing active amplifiers that lie between the node and a customer that is being served. The NAS is also used in the form of a "drop" to switch traffic to a customer. The BIU, Narad's customer premise modem, sits inside the customer premise along with a customer premise filter that separates the Narad frequency from the standard cable service frequency. | |

What happened? CEO get stickershock on what it takes to upgrade a cable-system? | |

| | Wrong You are all wrong for the most part about capping. I work here and I know what caps you, its called P2P or BitTorrent. Stop Uploading or trying to run a server because you clog the other users in the neighborhood who aren't illegally sharing files. OOL is still a broadband provider for entertainment and the fact that they are upgrading everyone for free starting november to 15D and 2U is good to begin with at no cost. This is too much bandwith for even some of the most advanced users. If you want more then pay for it. 15 more and you get 30D and 2U and yet some more money and you can get simultaneous of 50D and 50U. And for all those arguing about docsis and crap, let me tell you that with Docsis 2.0 you can go as high as 54 on the current cable modems out there which are webstar 2100, surfboard 5100 and above and some other modems. They are giving them to all new users and when you get the package you want they make sure you are on the right modem. You will get capped, but be smart about it. I have never been capped in the past 5 years I have been using this service. And they uncapp you just by calling in so its not like the chop your legs off. | |
