Partly. DOCSIS cable *is* capable of "just letting it blast" with dedicated timeslots, low jitter, guaranteed latency, etc. VM just don't implement any of those features.

On top of that the frequency allocation as a whole means total upstream bandwidth, even once you reach fibre, is at best and under ideal conditions still only around 1/10th of downstream and still contended, whereas xDSL once you hit fibre is basically symmetrical, and the path towards the fibre is uncontended and 4:1.

Re: Can you see something wrong here? *Video*
Ive got fantastic news ,

The engineer just left , and he phoned up someone quote a few references and apparently my area is pencilled in for the 12th of Jan to have the box split so the utilization goes.

Im not quite sure what the technical name was for it , but he mentioned there had been high utilization in this area and engineer are coming out to split the box in half so there's not many people on the network.

Can anyone think of the name for such a job?

Anyhow im happy. Lets see what happens on the 12th

That sounds like a node split.

Normally they do resegmentations but that is neither as effective or future-proof, node splits are rarer but better.

It could well be good news and may well sort out any congestion issues.

When they did "something" to mine it went from "just about unusable" to "pretty poor but enough to close the fault ticket". Maybe the work for 200Mbps will make mine "acceptable". I'm hoping I'll have moved on by then though.

Node split? Yes, but it's not a quick or simple thing to do, and can take months of planning. It's unlikely they'd do one at this short notice, but might have been planning it for a while previously.

Resegmentations don't make as much difference, and typically only do so at the detriment of someone else. These typically have about 30-60 days lead time, and won't be done by sending an engineer down...

The other option is they've just fobbed you off by sending an engineer down to jig the connections around in the cabinet, which inevitably will just make things worse for everyone.

I was told by the guy who came out it was something that has been in the works for ages and its finally getting done in 2 days time , the engineer himself even said he was shocked by the date given because it usually takes months then went onto explain it must of been planned last year October to November.

Re: Can you see something wrong here? *Video*
"fix"? haha... over-utilization ain't usually fixed so easily...

my guess? that you will be waiting weeks to months for any change, as they undoubtedly attempt to fix yours and the hundreds of other overcrowded CMTS line cards around the country that have been festering for over half a year already, by bundling it with the upcoming speed increases this year...
