Now give me a 5Mb bandwidth-guaranteed cable connection with great support at a good price and I'll be on board. Otherwise you can find me here in the office park crying every month when I write a $600 check for 1.44Mb of bandwidth. ]]>Apr 26th 2007 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/
I agree that Verizon has a huge backbone and will most likely have more bandwidth available.]]>Apr 26th 2007 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/Apr 26th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/Apr 26th 2007 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/
Heres a good comparison:

Dedicated lines are usually just virtual circuits over ATM or frame relay, with a committed information rate for your service level. Any traffic over the CIR gets a CLP/DE bit set on each cell/frame, called the Discard bit, which means any traffic with a DE bit set is excess and might be discarded under load, but under low usage you might get far over the CIR, which is somewhat how cable and dsl work, they just dont publicly state what your CIR is, they do however tell you what the physical line clock rate is set for, but that doesn't equate to end-to-end traffic bandwidth.

To put it in relative terms, a DSL or cable modem might be clocked up to 5Mbps, but it might have a CIR of around 50KBps, with a DE bit set on all traffic over that rate, and most of the time all your traffic would get through, but under load you will get less because thats how much the physical pipe to the rest of the network has available, giving you a much more equal bandwidth compared to other users on the same local node.

If we were to allocate real bandwidth to each user, even the local SONET link from your neighborhood to the central office would need to be a 10GBps link, which isn't likely to happen, or your cable service would cost well over what it does now.]]>Apr 26th 2007 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/

And as far as the comment about DOCSIS 3.0 - its as good as approved, and guess what, there is /no/ cable modem that uses all of the DOCSIS 1.0, 1.0 or even 2.0 RFCs. Its just close enough to work. But I'll wait for the Moto CB CM MTA, cause well - I've never had good luck with an Ambit modem.]]>Apr 27th 2007 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/ambit-broadbands-channel-bonding-cable-modem-does-144mbps-30m/May 9th 2007 4:04PM
