| Upgrade that is really a return to old service . .
Thanks for the update on traffic. I heard Roberts speaking at an event last week in SF. He does indeed insist that 100Mbps is very possible, noting that they are only allocating one channel of cable to HSI at present and can readily shift more channels from conventional cable TV to HSI if needed.
With respect to 'upgrade' - I am a legacy @ home customer who had more than 3Mbps before attbi downgraded the service to 1.5 mbps. So, IMHO, comcast is simply restoring a portion of the service that attbi took away - and asking more in monthly service charges to do it. So, it doesn't look like an upgrade to me.
Tell you what: why don't you send me half of your paycheck for the next 2 years. At the end of that period, I will stop collecting the money and you will immediately double your take home pay! This offer is limited to the first 10 respondents so hurry and write now to I-want-a-big-raise@pay-upgrade.congame.not |

Westland, MI | 100 Mbps per customer on cable would require a couple steps up the evolutionary ladder for DOCSIS or an alternative technology to implement. |

In making the statement, Roberts mentioned industry funded R&D work at Cable Labs which is the place where DOCSIS was developed.
It doesn't seem like too much of a stretch - as you said 'evolutionary', not revolutionary. |
