Anyone have a copy of the DSLR list of HighSplit locations and phasing?

Anyone have a copy of the DSLR (or otherwise) list of HighSplit locations and phasing? Bonus if it also has the status's of each.

Funny thing is, looking at the satellite view of Google Maps, it’s the garage for the apartment complex. The Apartment building itself has 1000/40 service. So maybe a typo?

MacLeech

smccloud Don’t know. You’ll have to ask the apartment owner, manager, or whom ever actually subscribes to service there.

I’ve seen apartment common areas using commercial/hospitality services (also they can inject a local community bulletin board channel for the residents and/or feed a complex wifi network) while the residents get regular levels of services. Legally, common use areas can’t normally subscribe to residential services.

Again, it’s up to what the apartment’s contract is.

Oh finally… what is it, half a year to a year to enable? …unless they are going to try to get me up by the end of the year for that first 50% completion..?

6 Months later and still no turn up on High Split. I’m in no hurry as I have 2 Gig from At&t Fiber. Just wanting more competition to help lower my At&t internet bill.

It’s been about five months here with no further progress after Spectrum completed the initial work. And we have no other real options. Not even 5G-based options unless I count Verizon’s 5G Home Internet Lite (I don’t), which is throttled to 10 - 25 Mbps. So at least you have the AT&T Fiber option!

We are still on 1gb/40mb here in worcester ma. taking forever to upgrade this area.

smccloud

jarablue It’s been close to a year since they completed the plant upgrade for me, still waiting on any news 🙁

jarablue

smccloud Yeah that sucks. Sorry you don’t have any increased speeds

penberth

smccloud Same with me in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. Been just about a year with no movement on Spectrum’s “network evolution.”

smccloud

penberth I honestly think they are doing the bare minimum they can to say they are working towards completion.

penberth

smccloud You could be right. I mean, if Spectrum has all of the equipment in place, why wouldn’t they “turn it on?” It seems like it would be a waste to not enable it and check the box that they “reached that milestone.”

Unless they really do have to wait until every last headend in a geographic area is done?

Or they are waiting for two days before Christmas like they did with DOCSIS 3.0 in my area.

Maybe Nick Jeffery (started Sept 1, 2026) will talk some sense into them and have them go full FTTP. At least in areas where they haven’t started yet. He has a pretty good example to point to.

Not_Sure

geek you want to wait until 2036 to get better upload? hi-split is fine. Also not to mention the increased cost of doing FTTH then you guys would complain about the price increases to pay for it. First world issues for sure

Not_Sure At this pace, it’ll be 2036 before many of us get high-split. Another summer has gone by without any changes to our plant here. Same CMTS, same node, and same 750 MHz taps and passives.

If they’d started pulling fiber to the home back in 2016 when I said they should have, they’d be almost done by now. It’s not a first world problem when upload speeds have been stuck at 3% of download speeds and were only extended to that paltry limit because any less would drop so many ACKs that TCP streams wouldn’t even be able to reach gigabit throughput on the downstream side.

xpxp2002 Hell, TDS deployed FTTH to their entire service area around Spicer, MN, in 4 years. And that involved laying fiber around a 6500 acre lake where people really don’t like their lawns dug up for anything. And they did it with 8 gig symmetrical service to boot. But sure, Spectrum can say that they can’t get the necessary equipment to deploy their symmetrical speeds all they want. I still say they just don’t care to, since in most places they are the only choice. What shocks me is looking up my parents’ address in Spicer is that Spectrum still hasn’t rolled out high-split there even though they have true competition now.

geek

Not_Sure They haven’t even started deploying, en-masse, a technology that can match what their competition has deployed or are already deploying.

They want to be fiber so bad….”fiber powered". So stop wanting and just do it already.

Jaybonaut

geek Heard AT&T is suing them over that ‘fiber powered’ line.

Is there any improvement with latency bufferbloat etc. after these changes?

Not_Sure not to mention the increased cost of doing FTTH then you guys would complain about the price increases to pay for it

AT&T is doing FTTH and their cost per passing would arguably be higher than Charter’s since they have to run way more fiber than a cable company would have to (most of the newer nodes can serve FTTH from them). And they charge LESS than Charter and they financially are in a WAY better place than Charter! AT&T has been reporting quarterly subscriber gains and is SUBSTANTIALLY less leveraged than Charter. How does the math work for them but not a cable company? I’m just not buying your argument here.

smccloud

CBusdude That was the same as TDS Telecom by my parents. They had to replace DSL with fiber. And AFAIK, the DSLAMs were not fiber fed. But they did it in 4 years for two communities with a 99% coverage rate. Yet my parents stick with Spectrum because “its good enough”….
