Re: Cable winning the speed race

We've been hearing these apocalyptic threats of shared bandwidth for years now. Truth is, when subscribership increases, all the cable company has to do is split the node to keep performance high. A good company can keep their network humming if they so choose.

And it's really a silly argument. If the speed is faster, go with it. If it ever does become slow, switch. Pretty simple stuff, really. But I think it's pretty telling that most cable providers don't try and force their customers into a years contract, seems they're not too worried about service deterioration.
