CV Can't even supply enough bandwidth to the current network as it is, yet they say 50-100Mbps? How long before you get throttled and/or capped? |

Cablevision will never be able to release that kind of speed at a good price and stay consistent. Capping and throttling all around and the price will be through the roof! Guaranteed!

|  This is overkill; server speeds aren't keeping up
It is a nice marketing ploy, but largely irrelevant. Most server farms won't supply anywhere near those speeds to individual users. Most server farms cap speeds to users in order to handle thousands of users.

| Cablevision feeling the heat
I agree with GOLFnSUN that this is merely a marketing ploy. No chance in hell any Cable Op. would let you have 100Mbps, they WILL cap you. They are truly desperate because they are feeling the heat from Verizon's FIOS network. Cheers to competition. |

Wrong, data centers can supply a full duplex 100 Mbps connection for $10-15 more per month, or a full duplex 1000 Mbps connection for $50-60 more.

CV will NEVER be able to give this to people without BOTH capping even faster and raising prices...
CV is scared and this could be a last ditch effort to TRY to compete. I see this failing BIG TIME!!!! |

| 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! |

| Hey RR!!
What about RR/EarthLink Cable with this 5000/384 kbps? 5 Mbps is enough bandwidth for me, but 384 kbps upload?? They really need to raise that, it just unacceptable in my opinion.

Great 100 down, that rocks, unfortunately, I bet the upload stays the same. Cablevision and cable in general is living on borrowed time.
