SYMMETRICAL...at least they're getting it right. What good is 8, 10, 30Mbps without a decent upload to back it up?
Take a hint, Cable Companies. | |

Re: SYMMETRICALsaid by furlonium:...at least they're getting it right. What good is 8, 10, 30Mbps without a decent upload to back it up? Take a hint, Cable Companies. Take WHAT hint? It's the technology that is currently in use in most cable systems that is NOT symmetrical, it's not the whims of Cable ISP's to hold down your upload speed. With current technology in use in most of the U.S., they can give about 1mbit/sec to 1.5mbit/sec upload, unreliably. They're giving the speeds that will WORK, so that they can support them, rather than having people call and complain that they're not getting 1mbit uploads when they should. Cable companies would like to have symmetrical uploads, if they can send more traffic out, they might be able to qualify for peering sessions with large backbone ISP's, which can sometimes be worked out to be near "free" depending on the amount traffic. | |

Yeah, I hope OOL moves beyond throttled 5-10mbit/1mbit service to around 50 soon, (say 2005!) Because we're Probably less than 60 calendar days away from Verizon's fiber rollout.. currently either way, it's a win-win situation... if cablemodem subscribers jump ship to VZ, the cable hubs won't have as many users, leaving (theoretically) more b/w for those who stay, which will force them to improve service to attract them back which means 30-50mbits by Dec, 2005 if things go well....maybe throw in voip for $45-50 per month hehehe...
Hope So! | |

Most of the Nigerian 419ers have moved to the Netherlands. Guess they need all the bandwidth to send out all their crud. -- Sure eagles can fly high. But weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. » | 2004-12-01 10:42:19 | ·

Awsome I can't wait!!!Wow, I wonder how long it will take for all that speed to become normal here?? I can barely get 3Mbps on my cable and DSL around here only goes to 1.5 Mbps.
If we do get it here in the States, you can almost guess its going to be an "UP TO" 50 Mbps thing. I don't even want to know how the cable companies will interpret that definition. | |

Here is the infoLabs2 offers 1 Gigabit per second to private persons for 600 SEK additional per month via the subsidiary Bredband2 Ltd. Grove becomes the first town with säljstart 041201. The offer means that Labs2 via the broad band operator Bredband2 as first operator in the world offers 1 Gigabit broad tied to the private market.
Edit. 600 sek is about 89.07 in us dollars
of course is we fond over can to present this 10 km post, Sweden where first with both 10/100 Mbps and now breaks we through Gigabitgränsen before our Asian colleagues. However, one will have clear for itself that the distance has decreased considerablily and during the spring comes Yahoo maternity ward to launch a corresponding service in Japanese. The concerns for different decision-makers in Sweden that continues to interact and to invest on a long-term infrastructure. The is a combination of fiber and ethernet that gives us the possibility to give our customers this powerful offer.
The price will become a påslag on 600 SEK per month for the stating row ring to 1 Gbps. That net that is first out is HSB Skåne. The means that the price for an end member becomes 850 SEK in Skåne for 1 Gbps, to this comes a start charge on 1495 and a tie time on 6 months says Jonas Birgersson, CEO on Labs2.
Personligen thinks I that this development is logical in view of that fast technical development that runs down the pinches on the equipment. In an operational konkurrens- situation so does this that the end members sheep a good and cheap broad tied. For us on Labs2 is the natural to offer high band good curse in line with that we stating erase our infrastructure in order to can to carry televisionaerial and other capacity requiring services., says Jonas Birgersson.
For more information, dials Jonas Birgersson on 070 515 27 62.

Gigabit pipe would sure as hell be nice. *to the tard which says you dont need a gigabit pipe, F off.

Re: 50 megsI actually get it for free... I happen to work at the ISP which is providing it to my building (they also use their own infrastructure to provision the DS3s, so the cost is quite low). Our "slow" on-net buildings have 10 mbit/sec links and the fast on-net buildings are all licenced microwave DS3s or 100 mbit/sec fiber. We found that most customers don't use much more bandwidth if the pipe is large so we have several hundred customers at 8 mbit (symmetrical) or greater. Most are small businesses, but we have some residential users too (in buildings where we already have equipment). John | |

Any invisible cap ;) ?With those providers, I wonder if I have to have the fear of getting capped if I really use the bandwidth instead of just saying around yay I have very good upload speed from my cable service. I think, its not fair for OOL or any other ISPs to cap their customers for uploading (talking from own experience) as they are paying for unlimited internet service as advertised, otherwise it will be some sort of "LIMITED unlimited internet service" (I know, doesn't really makes much of sense). It would make much more sense if they had different tiers or services. | |

Ah, CapsUnlimited Caps remind me of the All-You-Can-Eat buffets. It takes on average 7 full plates to get your money's worth of food at most restaurants. Every one complains about the caps, but even if you were to give say, 3 plates (translate that to gigs), it would be enough for the avg. Joe/Jane. But, then it's marketing issue, people would still want to go to an All You Can Eat even if they were to eat 2 plates, and refuse to go to a 3 Plate Max buffet for the same price. Did I make sense? nope, oh well, not gonna write it again | |

American Broadbandis started to suck and we invented the internet. Damn telco's and cableco's need to get a fire lite under their asses. | |

Re: American BroadbandIt always seems that we fall behind a little and then leap ahead. Let's see what happens once DOCSIS v3.0 is released. | |

Why?Why would the cablecos offer these kinds of speeds?
I don't think fiber to a couple of thousand or even a couple hundred thousand households can be considered competitive "pressure".
The U.S. will be lucky if 10Meg is widely available in 10 years.
