At the National Cable and Telecommunications Association meeting in Las Vegas, Comcast has unveiled its future weapon against the competition: a modem three times faster than FiOS. The DOCSIS 3.0 technology ties four cable lines together. The cable modem, developed by the Cable Industry's Cable Television Laboratories, could be available in a few years. It reportedly features a broadband download speed of 150 Mbps - in the Las Vegas demo, a 32-volume copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica and Merriam-Webster's visual dictionary were downloaded in less than four minutes. "
If you look at what just happened, 55 million words, 100,000 articles, more than 22,000 pictures, maps, and more than 400 video clips. The same download on dial-up would have taken two weeks," said Comcast chief executive Brian Roberts.
