I've been a Comcast@Home user in NJ for nearly 2 years at my office and nearly a year in my home. Last summer when the home service was installed the installer told me that in order to preserve quality-of-service they were adhering to a limit of 250 users per node. I had a service call at my office yesterday. The service person told me that the limitation is actually 500 houses per node. If penetration is 20% there would be 100 users in a given node and the quality-of-service issue would then be based on the extent to which those 100 were making simultaneous demands on the system.

Does anyone have a sense of the difference in service quality, if any, to be expected with a policy of 250 USERS vs 500 HOUSES per node?

Thanks

Chuck

We had a first support line @ technically $113.5 which has not been breached. I see the next support line @ 90. If we break that, then the world will no longer be a safe place. The only time we will ever see $90 again will be post split.

UFG: I'd say you are in the support area. If it breaks this area on a closing basis, my guess is 50 is coming and we need to develop a new base in order to move up again. If it holds, I guess it is up up and away.
