Xfinity/Comcast already does this for channel 41+
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_video Bigband networks (now
part of Arris) started this a while ago.
The bandwidth available to the cable MSOs is pretty amazing.

Called VOD. Video over Data. I think that if coax plant is still out
there 10 years from now, it will be done this way.
The money is in the data, not the TV.

The new standard is fiber node and then max 3 line extenders.
Seeing these speeds is the norm.

I have mediacom at home, I had always been on a 12x2 plan, we are
heavy streaming, no tv and tons of kids the old hag babysits with
electronics, its like a BYOD party at my house plus my folks are
connected up to my house from across the street. My brother in law
moved in and was pushing me over my cap so I went to upgrade, it was
cheaper to go to the 100mb plan, something like 50 bucks, I dont know.
I was floored when I was talking to the tech when I was activating my
modem. I asked what kinds of speeds I would actually see figuring on
average 40, maybe more, maybe less. he keept assuring me that at no
time would I ever see less than 80. I told my I run an ISP network,
that he didnt need to lie to me. but he almost sounded angry when he
told me, 80mb over and over.
I consistently see 30-60mbps on speedtests. Highest Ive seen is like
a 92. They have fiber on the poles, but cable to the house, I dont
know what that means, they strung the fiber like 15 years ago.
One thing to note, if have internet only cable to your house, I
assume its provider dependent, if they dont have a filter on your
line there are alot of overlay analog channel and a boatload of
digital. when I was investigating it, even with the filter in place,
the way mediacom does pay per view is they must have dynamic digital
channels in place. if you periodically scan channels you can watch
whatever someone if watching on pay per view, but youre at the whim
of their remote. I havent checked it in a while, going to prison for
some free tv didnt seem all that appealing for somone as pretty as me

Hey,
So the cable provider in my area just increased their speeds
to 100Mbps. So now you can get 100Mbps cable internet for
$33/month for the 1st year... then it goes up to $59/month
for year two. I don't know of anyone with this package yet,
but that's pretty impressive for the price.
