@blackberry.net | oooo lala I thought DOCSIS 3 was supposed to even out the DL/UL ratio. Why do they still insist on making upload 1/10th the download speed? | |

| Hmmmm.... Waterloo, Iowa? Any reason why they get to be the showcase for their DOCSIS 3.0 tech? There are other, bigger markets they could have chosen. Like, uh, mine.  -- »/im/82288374/5591.png | |

Yes, Cedar Falls, right next to Waterloo, has a municipal utility that provides cable TV and cable-based Internet service. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Falls_Utilities | |

| Re: Hmmmm.... And there have been several abortive attempts to copy Cedar Falls in Waterloo. This is a preemptive strike.
It is ALL about competition. Just like Cox launched its first 50/5 "ultimate" tier in Lafayette, La where muni fiber LUS is serving up 50/50...and Cox offered it outside of the city as well where there are mutterings about inviting LUS in...
No coincidences here. | |
