Re: Upload speed?
said by ztmike  :I knew they were going to go with Florida..with that leaked announcement. My only question..Will the upload remain the same at 5meg, being that there are now docsis 3 modems out (Arris modems now even) I hope Chicago ain't to far behind..but at $150 month..you can count me out.  tshirt - no with DOCSIS 3.0 there is much higher bandwidth. Comcast is still testing it. It is capable of providing at the least 300Mbps Down. I know the Upload speed is planned (probably after a year maybe of a launch) to be available to be changed to 50Mbps Up with Docsis 3.0, and maybe even higher as more testing is done. Same thing happened when Fios was released for the first time in my area. They have changed their Down and Up speed combonations about 5 times. 50Mbps down is alot.
I loved having 20Mbps Down 5Mbps up with Fios before. But Verizon's Customer Service is never there, you have to wait 3 hrs before reaching a rep (I finished watching a movie on demand before rep answered), billing is only opened at certain times and their automated system likes to mis-route everyone just about everytime you call. You end up at DSL support which Verizon can't handle, you get a recording saying they are too busy to handle your call at this time, and to try your call again later. I will never switch back to Verizon again! |

Its like Comcast releasing a 40 down plan on DOCSIS 1 or 2 equipment. Ain't happening. |

Ain't happening. patcat88 - check your facts, if that were so then how would 100 people divide the 300 and still get a 50Mbps Connect and when Comcast promises eventually having a tier (probably for businesses and heavy residential users) for 150Mbps Down??? Never will there be 2 houses per node! Never will there be 6 houses per node. Currently there are areas with 200+ users per node. Try again. |

Right now with DOCSIS1.x/2.0 systems you have 100 users sharing a 38mbps downstream channel, even with users being able to consume up to 16mbps of that bandwidth (with Blast!). |
