Comcast is pushing DOCSIS 3.0 heavily, and the channel allocation and configuration in DOCSIS 3.0 is much more flexible, allowing speed configurations by bonding channels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS But the wifi, this is of course making an already crowded and noisy space much worse. I live in a high density area with people that have wifi, and its nearly useless. My devices that can be wired are, my 4G cell is often faster and more reliable than trying to go 2.4ghz 802.11* on the same cell phone. 5ghz is pretty empty, and I'm about to move to all Asus EA-N66 wifi network on 5ghz. I understand what Comcast is trying to do, but I think it should be an opt-in type of thing instead. On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 10:19 PM, Harald Koch <chk () pobox com> wrote:

I haven't been keeping up with the technology, but in the ancient of days wasn't the uplink side of DOCSIS also a limited-bandwidth, shared resource? -- Harald
