Cable Internet Speeds to TRIPLE

Makes me glad I have cable.

Docsis 2.0 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) significantly increases cable bandwidth by establishing a network that has 30Mbps capacity in two directions.

Today\'s cable networks generally deliver data with download speeds of between 500Kbps and 2Mbps. Analysts said that cable modem customers are usually limited to only a fraction of those speeds, about 128Kbps, when sending data.

Ayeeee!

same here mine is through time warner....Roadrunner.........if it gets MUCH faster I will be even happier!




:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

So that means now we can get our  pr0n faster.  That\'s good news.  Now I don\'t have to look for it at work anymore.

ISPs have to implement it. And its not as easy as installing it and saying "LETS GO"

I work for an ISP. Stuff like this takes time,  a long time to implement.  There are already so many other protocols out there that are faster, but it takes time to make sure they work with your network properly.  Most of the hang up usually is politics.  The nerds know the deal, but getting corporate to approve changes like that take forever.  Politics still run this world and will forever keep postitive changes down..  

I have 8mbit and that is fast enough right now..... since i usualy cant download at that speed, because too many have much lower internett speed

Your internet is as fast as your weakest link. You aren\'t going to get 30mbps on a second class ethernet card. Did you know that often times it\'s the network card that cannot keep up with the bandwidth being processed?

That analysis isn\'t evident in my case. My ISP (Optimum Online aka Cablevision) happens to be the best in the country. It\'s only offered in the NYC and scattered parts of NJ and CT. I get superior downloads and uploads, at least 2MB up and down on average. It gets close to 4-5 in evenings when the peak is down.

I doubt 30mbps is going to be adapted as fast as cable/dsl/wire-less did. There\'s still a handful of people out there still on dial-up servise. Not to forget fiber-optic connections are also bluming up in certain areas.

There\'s more than a hand-ful on dial-up.

First cable NIC cards are 10/100Mbps standard.

I am on cable and I get those speeds quite often.  Also as they add more nodes to your LAN the slower your speeds are going to get.  Cable is run on a logical bus topology so the more people on that "line" the slower it will be.

Also, now on alot of web sites are restricting how fast you download from there sites,  So that the fast connections are not sukin up the bandwidth and handcuffing the 56kers out there.

Well if my neighborhood doesn;t see some BB action in the very near future you people will be reading all about me and my anger problem on CNN

Mind if I join you on CNN... I have a few things I\'d like to say as well.

Going to go watch TRON now

I still use dial up when traveling, and some of the places I go really SUCK ASS!  I swear every time I go to Myrtle Beach I can\'t connect any faster than 28.8  ~ GRRRRR!
