    Default Super Modem

    25 times faster than a typical cable modem, 5000 times faster than dial up.

    I wondered how long it would take for the cable industry to get this working. Multiplexing frequencies over the cable connection is akin to shotgunning modems from days past.

    I'm wondering how reliable the mux signal will be over distance though. And the lines will have to be cleaner than they currently are to sustain large volumes of traffic.

    Still, pretty cool that it's happening....

    It should. The technology is sound and proven. Think of it this way, the old two-lane dirt road is turning into a 6-lane paved highway. Kinda like having your own personal expressway to the Autobahn.

    I just can't believe it took them this long to implement.

    With all the queer enablers here you shouldn't talk about dirt roads.
