I always have a tinge of disquiet over ARRIS, not because of their technology (which I have no experience of, except to know that with Cisco and Motorola and someone else who escapes me they're the big boys of cable modems) but because their name is cockney rhyming slang for 'bottom'. So it's official, ntl are installing a load of bottoms.

We'll see... I know you've some EoCATV kit in the labs

Do I need to dignify that with a response? Nah. I may be wrong this one time, you'll always be a moron, time after time

seen as the chetnet link is no longer working, whats this ARRIS channel bonding about ?

is it upstream and downstream channel bonding for greater speeds for DOCSIS 3.0 deployment ??

edit:

yep it is.

http://www.convergedigest.com/dsl/la...e.asp?ID=14941

so 100mbit both ways how many users would that take at if thats at node level could a 100mbit service exist with this type of change on the network ?

EDIT 2:

Looks like we've been upgraded already...

either that or my firefox can't count

Consumers won't ever be able to comprehend that and will start complaining whn it goes below 80mbs (if they could even get that high)

To be able to provide consistent 100mbs speed the network would have to be at least 200mbs. (guess)

Sort of. I don't see network cards being sold at 200mbs level though

Broadly speaking that seems to be the idea - the kit tunes to multiple upstream and downstream channels (and that's going to be fun to monitor) and bonds them together into two huge virtual channels. Apart from anything else it mitigates the effect of interference on particular upstream frequencies and it should see an end to 'move my upstream pleeeeeeeeease' type posts, as you'll already be on four upstreams...

This is all rather hypothetical at this stage, I literally heard about it internally a few days before it went public, so don't expect me to know much more than you ;0

200mbps network cards? Easy peasy, most modern PCs will have gigabit ethernet cards, which is the only way to get true 100mbps performance at the moment - my box which I built in 2003 has two of them.

Who cares about the speeds, the cadant c4 just looks so much shinier than the cisco cmts.

<homer> hmmm.. purdy lights</homer>

AbyssUnderground · 11-02-2006, 09:44

Is this going to be 100Mbps in both directions? Or will the upload be lower, like 10Mbps?

etccarmageddon · 11-02-2006, 10:32

both directions but it will be 'upto' so expect the true speed to be very variable.

Ignition · 11-02-2006, 10:52

Yikes that'll be pushing it just to get 100Mbps upstream on a node. You need a fair whack of spectrum to get that done, and more to the point clean spectrum.

Worth mentioning this trial deployment is just that. You won't be seeing it in your area any time soon if you're not in this initial trial. You won't be seeing it if you still have analogue in your area.

It might not ever become a product. It took a higher order modulation upgrade years to be used on the live network after sitting on a trial network for ages and this is a fair bit more complicated to do than that upgrade.

BTW The Juniper G10 was pretty too, as are the Terayon CMTSes.

Wonder what they'll be charging for the new modems that'll be required, they won't be able to get them for the price of a couple of pints

EDIT: I'd guesstimate this will be trialled alongside the Cachelogic boxes in Ashford, that has been analogue free for a while.

I live in Ashford, Kent and currently use the 10Mbit product. How can I get on this trial or am I asking too much ??

Civilian · 11-02-2006, 13:25

am also in ashford in kent (on 10meg) and sooo want to get on this trial !
