1 edit | Re: References... If you are going to talk about a MSO's setup, it might help if you knew how they set up their network, not how another MSO's is set up. While basically the same, Cox lays much more fiber, and gets it closer to the home than you may think.

Pretty much the entire system in Fairfax County (a.k.a, Northern Virginia) is fibre. The only copper component is from the line drawn off the utility box to the individual home.

| Nice pic... So lets see, take that "750/1000" homes per node. Assume they use all six channels @ 38mbps (=228mbps). Lets compare current technology:
Cox: 228mbps/750users = 0.3 mbps per user, much less if they use fewer channels.
Verizon: 622mbps/32users = 19.43 mbps per user (VZ says 32 houses is the max)
So Verizon is deploying over 64x the bandwidth per user. All I'm saying is which would you think is more likely to slow down at peak times?
Even if Cable upgrades their speeds in a year, VZ will be @ 2.4gbps per 32 houses which gives 75mbps per user. | |
