I got Verizon FIOS too and I'm paying $80 a month for phone + internet]]>Jun 18th 2008 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/Apr 3rd 2008 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/Apr 3rd 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/
I suspect eventually they'll try and move everyone to DOCSIS, as it will free up bandwidth.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/
I'm jealous of all the dish and Fios people.

Comcast quit compressing my HDTV!!!!]]>Apr 3rd 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/Remember, even with DOCSIS 3.0, cable is a shared medium.
There is only 160mbps down/120mbps upload per ~32 home neighborhood. If you happen to have some serious leeches on the line, you won't be seeing 50mbps often!

Fios is cheaper, faster, and NO CAPS! I would KILL to be in a FIOS area. Verizon, GET YOUR ASS OUT TO THE WEST!]]>Apr 4th 2008 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/
Please define "torrenting" & "thottled" as used here, including real world effects on customers.

Thanks.]]>Apr 4th 2008 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/
Throttling = The limiting of bandwidth supplied to a connection.

In the past, Comcast has throttled users who use BitTorrent. Recently, they finally agreed to stop this practice, instead replacing it with a policy to throttle ANYONE who they think is using too much bandwidth (i.e. using it for more than just surfing the web). This basically means that once you download or upload more than a certain amount of data in a month, Comcrap will limit your speeds for the rest of the month.]]>Apr 5th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/Thank you sir..

@efhand

Yes, "torrenting" is just a method of transferring large files. But it doesn't matter what or how you download/upload files. If you are an AppleTV/ITunes/Xbox360 movie downloads fanatic and cross over a certain arbitrary limit, Comcast will slow your connection speed to the internet to a crawl.]]>Apr 7th 2008 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/and-were-off-twin-cities-get-first-docsis-3-0-deployment/Jun 19th 2008 3:33AM
