TW aren't even able to use EuroDOCSIS, owing to a lot of their modems being DOCSIS only - 1/3 of ntl's UBRs are ED (the other 2/3 being that large partly because they're DOCSIS only).
Implementing DOCSIS 2.0 isn't an easy option, but a fair chunk of ntl's equipment is *already* DOCSIS 2.0 compliant, all the latest Ambits are, for instance. Also DOCSIS 1.1 kit is available in higher capacities and that *is* being rolled out now (in fact there's loads of it about now). |
Nearly all the modems NTL and Telewest supply are Docsis 2 compliant as they can be flashed to docsis 2 if they havent already been done. Its a matter of network being upgraded. you say that NTL have already DOCSIS 2 compliant equipment. Do u mean equipment as in the modems or the network as a whole? I dont think NTL have yet to implement DOCSIS 2 other than in the modems which Telewest are doing anyway. The only difference is that Telewest dont have as many problems as NTL so in my opinion NTL will be deploying DOCSIS 2 much later than Telewest since NTL must first sort out their current problems before they move on.
