One of the big problems with this is that DOCSIS is a shared bandwidth protocol. It's actually better for a lot of data to stream into a DOCSIS network from the outside, then for data to originate from that network, even if it's just going to other peers within that network. I have a friend at Charter who says that the biggest network engineering problem they face is the saturation of the "uplink frequencies" for users running bittorrent.
