    When the local cable company here uses "high speed fiber backbone" as a key selling point of their product, I automatically discount anything a cable broadband provider says. Someone out there in Giz land tell me that they are getting real-world advertised speed out of their cable modem, please. So, 100Mbps might be one quarter what they advertise? I'll take the fiber, thank you very much.

    Verizon: We could do 400Mbps.

    Cablevision: Nuh-uh!

    Verizon: Yah-huh!

    Cablevision: Why don't you?

    Verizon: Shut up-ah!

    IIRC, cable's speed slows as more and more users jump on the line. Unlike FiOS where the fiber is brought into your home, w/cable, you have to use their copper until you hit their backbone, which is fiber.

    Who needs 400MBPS, seriously?


    For HD porn, we assume.
