Glendale, AZ | 85304 have 8 down 1 up. But the plan that I am on seems to limit download to around a solid 20. No complaints as that is still solid speed 24/7. |

Well cox has been cutting down on powerboost speeds for a little while now. But really it shouldn't matter as much to people, as long as your getting what you pay for. I have personally never liked the powerboost feature, as its rather useless imo, when your on some of these higher speed tiers. Because it only last for a short burst on the beginning of a download, and on there higher speed tiers, it doesn't last very long at all. |

My speed is just there 24/7 a little more than I pay for. can not really say it is power boost as it is just there no matter the size of the download. Just a little free always there boost. |

Well there is always a little overhead when they provision your speeds, so that's why people see a little more then what they are paying for. |

I notice my upstream power levels are hotter since the upstream started bonding.

| Hey now it shows the kind of speed bonding can provide on the upstream. But we are still way off of seeing true speeds like that being provided by cox. |
|
| kind of figured that :/
but someday they will need to offer speeds like this on the upstream if they wanna compete in markets with FIOS |

| Still 8/1 in Tempe (85281)  |

Cable will *never* be able to compete with fios due to HFC limitations. D3 maxed out at 8/4 is 320mbps down and 120mbps up and hundreds of people on a node whereas fios is like 2gigs down and 622mbps up with a max of 32 people/node

| I am not sure fios has a large enough footprint to be much of a threat. According to Strategy Analytics, the trend is "customers shifting from DSL to FiOS Fiber service" This doesn't sound like fios is capturing cable customers but rather from the slower dsl subscribers. Since Verizon is focusing on growth in established areas and not in expansion, most cable cos. could be secure. |

there are several problems with your *never* statement
the first is the claim that "D3 is maxed out at 8/4"... The D3 specification has no restriction on the number of channels you can bond. Your statement also presumes that no manufacturer will support bonding more than 8/4...while this is true for available modems today, it is unlikely that we won't see the ability to bond more and more channels, especially as demand for expansion of business services capabilities continues.
The second is that the serving groups is "hundreds of subscribers"..also not always true. I have seen serving groups that have fewer than 32 and there isn't any reason why a provider can't split the node to support serving groups smaller than this should they wish to invest in this. I agree that there are examples where cable operators have aggressively oversubscribed their network and ended up with having to correct for poor customer experience but this is true of every ISP on every network topology.
While fiber (more specifically GPON for FTTH) has a distinct advantage in providing RF noise immunity it is technically inaccurate and unfair to say it has more raw capacity than HFC, especially with the industry considering technology changes such as implementing mid-splits to give upstream capacity up-to 200Mhz and extending the downstream to 3Ghz |

Actually as announced last year, Verizon is capping their FiOS deployments at 18 million homes and will be focusing on other technologies going forward
