<<<<suggesting that the cable comoanies have fixed this problem by using the brcm chips. I did not think this was correct. would someone please clarifiy this for me..I have a personal wager witht this guy and want to get it straight.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pruguy, My $'s on you. (and not just because you're an AOL bull).BRCM chip go in the settop boxes in the home, they can only deal with the bandwidth that is delivered to them via the local loop. It is my understanding from ATHM thread the cable boys must deploy fewer nodes per HH and /or string more fiber vs. copper cabling in the local loop to solve the BW depletion problem. Any corrections/clarifications appreciated. D.H.
