Always dreamed of a t3 or fiber connection? How about 150mbs on good ol copper?

**Hitler Bad-Surfer Good** · 05-10-2007, 12:25 AM

Just on Local news then 10 minutes later CNN while i was flipping channels.

Comcast held a public demo recently. downloaded a 300mbs file in 11 seconds.. the encyclopedia in 2 minutes all on regular rg6 copper line!

"Channel bonding" will deliver 144mpbs data to the home on voice video and data. I guess only some company named Hannaro had the tech initially but Comcast got there hands on it (prolly through aquiring some companies)

SO no need to wait for your city to go Fiber (which for most of us is a long time) and the expense that comes with it. Comcast says they will have it on the market in 2008!!

While all the news channels could talk about was the downspead what I found MORE interesting was the 30mbs UPSTREAM!!

this is gonna fucking rock!!

(wierd that all the news orginizations have had stories on it but freaking internet newsites are behind)

They're already running fiber in my area

ermm.. prolly just backbone. The cost of fiber I doubt rural goat farming states like Alabama You will prolly just get IFITL.. which is just telephone's fiber.

Corbu · 05-10-2007, 12:39 AM

we're supposed to be getting fiber soon here. my dad called a while ago and said it would take six weeks, but it's been more like two months.

edit: its FIOS from verizon though, not comcast

Kzin · 05-10-2007, 12:40 AM

A T1 is only 1.5 mb

Blitz · 05-10-2007, 12:41 AM

Holy shit, and holy shit 30 up?

FIOS is just IFITL.. telephone fiber its prolly what 30mbps?

comcast is going to be offering triple that on COPPER.

oh, that's pretty sweet, if true. probably be really fuckin expensive though.

**Hitler Bad-Surfer Good** · 05-10-2007, 12:47 AM

Eh the more I think about it they will prolly run this on rg-11 but still that cost will be absorbed the cable companies.

I think all you guys thinking your geting copper are thinking your getting trunk line quality fiber when its just the phone companies existing fiber being stretched into your house... Intergated fiber in the loop.

NO DOUBT it will kick ass but not gonna touch 144mbs.

Why would it be expensive they dont have to update their hardlines at all. THATS the reason this is kicking so much ass!

HOWEVER the way it looks you prolly have to subscribe to phone TV and Internet.... so could be more expensive in that aspect. but the actual costs shouldnt go up at all.

Not true at all. I happen to work for said company laying out the fiber. Currently they are just putting in the backbone, but it's high quality stuff.

They plan on running Triple play services with it, High Speed Internet, HDTV with OnDemand, and long distance Tele.

That's bizarre, I was just seconds ago wondering what you do for a living. And I wouldn't have even seen this post if surfer hadn't quoted it, because I still have you on ignore.

No not really, my putting him on ignore was at his own suggestion and in direct response to the "King" shit. I have no problem with him generally.

I don't know many goat farmers.

I know a few chicken, livestock, and corn farmers.

My uncle does all 3, and makes a killing.

Blackferne · 05-10-2007, 10:22 AM

BTW a T3 would be 44.736 Mbit/s

Fiber lowers your cholesterol

suVa · 05-10-2007, 12:10 PM

The Michigan State University Engineering building had a triple T-5 line system installed about 5 years ago. At the time, the line speed was considered unlimited because there was nothing that could readily measure that bandwidth.

Off peak time, peak being the month before finals, doesn't matter day or night (they had showers in the building that were used, how scary), everything seemed instant. During finals, it would drop way down in speed to something that a normal cable customer would be used to.

Blitz · 05-10-2007, 12:19 PM

I'm pretty sure that my uncle's job at AT&T is that he leads a department that reroutes fiber communications across the country so it travels the least amount (or something like that). I was talking to him about some of the OC lines but it was way above my head. From what I understood, OC792 is the fastest out there and it's used more for the internet backbone then actual connections for people/businesses.

I can't imagine what I would do with a connection that fast.

tkups · 05-10-2007, 12:21 PM

Yea, I read this article yesterday afternoon, but was too busy to post it. Figured someone else would have heard about it.

What I liked was that the modems themselves are cost-effective. They're not gonna cost (much) more to produce than the current ones, at least from the hardware perspective.

As to what to use them for? Video feeds, for one. Right now, video quality is absolute ass since it has to be limited by bandwith. The 25x faster service will allow for MUCH crisper, higher quality video. Video confrencing will be a reality, and cost-effective.

There's a huge bottleneck right now in computers, and it revolves around bandwith. This will help reduce that bottleneck. Hell... think about MMOs. Lag will be a thing of the past.
