Where else would TWC have deployed DOCSIS 3 other than NYC? If it was going to do it at all, it was going to be NYC. |

| Surrounded isn't enough. If you have FIOS next door, it doesn't affect you, if you have muni broadband next door, it doesn't affect you. Coterminous is the right word. Uverse isn't competitive with DOCSIS 2 as it is (compare Uverse to Cablevision's speed tiers). I don't know how rural/ex-rural VZ Socal area is, and how much population is has, and how much TWC serves it. Uverse areas would be one of the last to get DOCSIS 3. |

I'm just afraid to see what my cable bill will be like once DOCSIS 3 is out. My bill is already so inflated paying 49.95 for 10Mbps down, 512kbps up. Imagine what they will charge for say 25Mbps down...yikes! Verizon has started working on my neighborhood.....one foot out of TW's door! |

| While your upload speed does suck, I'm paying $65 for 8/2 here  . Then again, back home in town TWC inexplicably offers 15/2 with download PowerBoost for $50/month, though there's really no competition in the area.
Funny how in NC, in an area where Embarq has 640k+ upload on most of their tiers, TWC has decided to continue sitting at 10/512 for the highest tier. |

Yeah Verizon is on the Flushing mode now. Big urban population. Yet is still missing other parts like mine. |

In Manhattan it means buildings under construction, high rise residential buildings and upscale or middle class "neighborhoods" like Peter Cooper or Sty Town. Small areas with a lot of tenants. They tend to bypass entire neighborhoods where most Manhattan dwellers live. 4, 5 story buildings and 18 to 24 units per building saying it's to hard to do the whole block. They don't want to spend the money. One high rise can have 100 units. Verizon Fios does the same thing. Most Manhattan residents won't be seeing this very soon. They run the line underground in the sewers and it runs by whole blocks and neighborhoods. When they introduced Road Runner the Lower East Side, East Village where I am was one of the last areas to get service. I wouldn't be surprised if the faster road runner isn't here for a while and Fios very close to if not 2014. |

1 edit | Of course NY.
It's the city where Verizon announced it would have FIOS to everyone by 2014 or so....
The problem with DOCSIS 3.0 is that the speeds you can reach with it, also cost an arm and a leg. My budget for Internet is about $50, and thats just about what I pay right now for 15/2.
I am not paying $99 a month for internet, even if it is 100/10 or something like that. Not unless I got a big fat pay increase which isn't likely soon.

Verizon says all of NYC wired by 2014? Yeah, okay. What Time Warner has to do if they want to be taken seriously is to cut the B.S with the caps and offer Cablevision's speeds. CV may be ghetto but at least unlike TWC and Comcrap, they don't consider their customers criminals and implement caps on their services |

Fiber is not deployed in the sewers in Manhattan - Verizon has its own conduits provided by Verizon subsidiary company ECS (Empire City Subway). ECS provides the fiber conduits, so the FiOS fiber is run through those dedicated conduits. And the Lower East Side is mostly fed from the 2nd Ave. CO, which has had FiOS equipment installed since 2006. Your area might not be wired yet, but the CO is live. |

Re: Surgical Deployment
FIOS is in process as is Docsis 3.0. The thing about Docsis 3.0 is the date keeps getting push back. Docsis 3.0 was announced ages ago and has been in play for awhile.
The good news here is 3.0 8channel is more likely to be used since Docsis 3.0 has not been deployed.
I think Time Warner themselves know that Docsis 3.0 is not really up to par with FIOS and kinda waited out the technology to see how long it will improve and develop in the labs.
As having RCN, Time Warner Cable here as well as DSL options, I can say that Time Warner Cable is the best one can get in my area. |
