DOCSIS 3.0 shared throughput....
Will DOCSIS 3.0 mean every user can watch a different IPTV channel simultaneously?
For IPTV to work every TV viewer (1-3 per household?) needs to have a dedicated 1-2Mbps (SDTV) or 7-10Mbps (HDTV) connection.
I'm just looking at the data througput of ADSL2+, and it seems more suitable for IPTV, but I'm sure the cable companies aren't sitting still. I've seen DOCSIS 3.0 touted as allowing up to 160Mbps download speeds, but if IPTV takes off and that cable connection is shared between 150 people, then during primetime it might run out of steam.
Anyone know? Thanks
