I also heard that in conjunction with the D3 launches, these areas are seeing more HD stations. Can anyone from these areas confirm this? | |

1 cable company that has the entire state
( a third of Mediacom's customers are here)
and 2 major phone companies who won't do upgrades hardly at all or if they do they take their sweet time and charge everybody way too much (Qwest and Iowa telecom)
Is it any wonder why Iowa and never gets mentioned on the news?

Our weather is about as diverse as your ISP options are. We have two major ISPs (in NorCal) and that's it.

I know I have said this before but I'll say it again. I can't wait until this hits in Sacramento. Surewest isn't innovative enough to do MDU FTTP installs like Verizon is so Comcast will save us by introducing next gen internet speeds via DOCSIS 3. | |

| can we calm the spin on the word aggressive? the only thing comcast's been aggressive about is metered billing.. aside from that, docsis promises speeds of 160mbits downward and 120mbits upward.. so a 50/10 plan doesn't seem too aggressive to me. nothing that comcast is doing in their upgrades spurs on telcos to make any significant alterations in their upgrade plans outside of the northeast, so why should they get any attention whatsoever for doing what should be mandatory in the competitive landscape?
sure, there is good cause to be cautious about upgrades and offering higher speeds.. but there is absolutely NO reason why a docsis 3 upload speed should be well within ultra-low node saturated docsis 2 spec... which means uploads should be 30mbits and higher for any entry level docsis 3 speeds-- a 50/30 or 50/50 package is what we call entry level in a service that should max out 32 users per deep fiber node @ 160mbits/120mbits bandwidth each customer. | |

| Big Fat Hairy Deal! Anyone ever downloaded ANYTHING from the internet? What download speeds have you seen from even the most professional name brand services? Ever downloaded updates from Microsoft? I never get anything over 350kbps or so. How about the latest Java update? 256kbps. I could go on but the bottom line is.... download speeds of 10, 20 or even 30MBsps... So what? Who will EVER see that? I call it "fluff ware". | |
