There are regional differences in the number of installers that come to the job site. If the cable comes to your house on a pole then a tech is going to have to climb that pole to string new cable. Cox is digging up the streets of Mesa, AZ laying new cable - the docsis modems won't speed up that.

This single installer can then install 15 homes than the current 3 homes, that's 5 fold increase in productivity.

I say X*2 you say X*5 - I'll agree it will be somewhere in between.

So if it's 5 fold then by 2003 were getting into respectable numbers.
