DOCSIS 4

Having recently spent a lot of $ on a new modem, it's coming onto holiday-season so I must ponder when I'll need to do that again. The next version promises 6 Gb/s upstream. (Same 10 downstream.)

Comcast, for its part, started a 4.0 rollout last month - over the high hills south of here, where's aerospace. It's phased per-city, if only to ensure the punters get the new modems.

This suggests 4.0 around the Denver-Boulder corridor next year. But maybe early next year. I expect the modems to be priced for the universities and space companies, who need the upload bandwidth most. 3D uploads might care for Gaussians.

I just hope these uploads won't strangle the rest of us.
