[AFMUG] CableOne
Hey, So the cable provider in my area just increased their speeds to 100Mbps. So now you can get 100Mbps cable internet for $33/month for the 1st year... then it goes up to $59/month for year two. I don't know of anyone with this package yet, but that's pretty impressive for the price. Travis
Re: [AFMUG] CableOne
That's "up to" pricing? Will be interesting to see what speeds people are actually getting once they get loaded down.

Re: [AFMUG] CableOne
I have mediacom at home, I had always been on a 12x2 plan, we are heavy streaming, no tv and tons of kids the old hag babysits with electronics, its like a BYOD party at my house plus my folks are connected up to my house from across the street. My brother in law moved in and was pushing me over my cap so I went to upgrade, it was cheaper to go to the 100mb plan, something like 50 bucks, I dont know. I was floored when I was talking to the tech when I was activating my modem. I asked what kinds of speeds I would actually see figuring on average 40, maybe more, maybe less. he keept assuring me that at no time would I ever see less than 80. I told my I run an ISP network, that he didnt need to lie to me. but he almost sounded angry when he told me, 80mb over and over. I consistently see 30-60mbps on speedtests. Highest Ive seen is like a 92. They have fiber on the poles, but cable to the house, I dont know what that means, they strung the fiber like 15 years ago. One thing to note, if have internet only cable to your house, I assume its provider dependent, if they dont have a filter on your line there are alot of overlay analog channel and a boatload of digital. when I was investigating it, even with the filter in place, the way mediacom does pay per view is they must have dynamic digital channels in place. if you periodically scan channels you can watch whatever someone if watching on pay per view, but youre at the whim of their remote.

Re: [AFMUG] CableOne
It will not be long before they use all the cable channels for data and then send you tv over IPTV. Called VOD. Video over Data. I think that if coax plant is still out there 10 years from now, it will be done this way. The money is in the data, not the TV. From: D.

Re: [AFMUG] CableOne
Sling TV seems to think the opposite. http://www.businessinsider.com/sling-tv-ceo-is-not-afraid-of-apple-2015-6 I suspect the cable companies are already viewing their business as broadband, and would happily give up dealing with all the content owners constantly wanting more money, and just be the big dumb pipe. Kind of like threatening gas stations that you will take away their lucrative fuel business, leaving them to just sell milk, beer, cigarettes, snacks and lottery tickets. Oops, turns out you don’t make money on gas, all the profits come from the mini mart.
