  • What are the “actual speeds?” They’re selling 10gbps circuits so I don’t really see a problem with this.

    This article talks about low upload speeds on existing infra and completely ignores the fact that the limitations they spell out are a factor of extremely limited upload spectra on traditional DOCSIS networks. This is a problem with the technical standard, not the carriers (which have their own problems)

    The funniest part is that the DOCSIS4.0 spec is addressing this limitation yet here we are.

    Is node over subscription a problem? Absolutely. But I don’t think the root of that problem is the marketing department.

    I would not put much stock in this article because they are either uninformed on what they’re reporting on, or intentionally telling half truths. There are enough reasons to hate cable companies, we don’t need to invent new ones.
