said by soothsayer15 :said by majortom1029 :I was wondering. They are upgrading the nodes to gpon but if they gave everybody 100/100 and above is verizons backbone equiped to handle all the traffic if this is done? It's in the blurb. quote: When it is deployed, Verizon says limited demand will have them employing the over-subscription model.
In other words.. it will work like a cablemodem.. a DOCSIS 3.0 cablemodem but none-the-less peak bandwidth usage will see some FALL-OFF.. probably as much as 25-megabit deficit per subscriber.. but still... that's damn good.. also don't expect those speeds end-to-end all over the place.. the internet isn't wired to give millions of subscribers 100mbit connections.. so expect some traffic delays as par for the course. It is also speculative that Verizon will actually be the first to "jump" into much higher speeds. First they will rub SYMMETRIC packages in the cable company's face to force them to upgrade to docsis 3.0... which means 10/10, 15/15, 20/20, 30/30, 50/50.. (if you get 50/50-- they will probably upgrade you to gpon) |
