Your position is “obvious” but mine needs technical evidence? OK then.

Your position is “obvious” but mine needs technical evidence? OK then.
- tptacek 7y agoI'm just going to point out that in this one thread alone, I've read Rayiner write about individual DOCSIS versions, Comcast's channel map, OFDM, GPON, the performance differences between aggregated coax layer 2 standards and GPON, N+0, token-bucket rate limiting, congestion control, global network knowledge, FiOS utilization or lack thereof, a quantified argument of Comcast's rate of performance improvement compared to that of the entire technology industry, amplifier placement, linemen, and ISP CAPEX. From you, I've read... something else. By all means, keep going, because you're prying some pretty great comments out of Rayiner. I ran a network engineering group for a regional ISP full-time for a couple years and I didn't know any of this stuff. But don't kid yourself that you're the one making technical arguments; you'd be cheating yourself out of some pretty great information Rayiner's providing.
