Wouldn’t the real reason with DOCSIS be so they have more downstream channels and less upstream? Giving them more downstream bandwidth to sell. Why didn’t the article mention this?
- zekica 5y agoThis is only an issue when providers use a configuration called low-split, which majority of providers do use. The main issue is that changing the network to support higher upload speeds is that they need to replace most of the splitters in their network, but it is doable and there are providers that already did that.
