cable tv loops are co-axial .. will that be the way cable tv providers will
provide conectivity ?
Two important things -
1. Internet is two network i.e. Upstream and Downstream.
2. Cable TV networks are one way i.e. broadcast only.
Now ask me, was I trying to bluff ?
speeds ?
If I will say, many will just refuse to believe.
Any cable TV guy here ?
Can someone tell us the speed (bandwidth) one channel - digital channel from cable tv headend to customer provides ?
Ok, I will ask a little differently, we watch CDs on private channels on cable tv ? Yes.
What is the MPEG format (CD format) for such movie CDs ? How many kilobits per sec for playback ?
Let us work on approximations. Someone from Computer Science should answer.
usually internet through cable is provided using one or two channels. so even when the speed of one channel is very high to allow CD movie viewing, the total bandwidth remains constant ( remember, we all watch the same movie, movie on individual demand is still not provided,AFAIK). so as the no of subscribers increase, the speed will go down, as everybody will share the same bandwidth.
