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. |

| reply to Jerm
That is homes passed, not homes served. My home is on a node with 748 homes passed, but only 129 use HSI (as of November).
Now to your idea that Cox is beaten, they really aren't. They are one of the first MSO's to deploy 1ghz+ overlay systems, and can easily use the added bandwidth for HSI, or gigaE over cable.
