Hi-split is fine and if you don’t like it go with someon else.
That’s your opinion. Many of us have lower latency needs than 35ms to other endpoints within our state/region.
Regardless, you clearly didn’t (or can’t) read, because I specifically called out that there is no “someone else” to go to for many of us. We’re forced to pay exorbitant rates for inferior service because Charter is the only option. If there were another option, I’d have been long gone years ago. Heck, I’d rather pay $200/mo to anybody else for symmetric gigabit and lower latency than keep giving Charter $105/mo for their execs to buy new yachts instead of investing in this region’s plant to improve 35 Mbps upload, sky high latency, or deliver a vaporware high split upgrade that’s never coming this decade.
Finally, I will reiterate: I never said that Charter is changing their strategy. I only pointed out that many of us knew better years ago before they committed to this poor decision. To be clear, Charter is theoretically floating a future where they deliver FTTH. It will just be out of DAA nodes in the field with the same lack of utility power dependency that HFC has, and will likely be higher latency than a PON plant.
So move one and quit wasting your life aruging about something Charter is not going to do anytime so no matter wow mnuch you whine.
I’d say the same to you. You seem quite content with Charter’s choice to pursue high split, so what’s there to complain about from your side? The fact that my connectivity needs are different, and aren’t adequately met by the inferior solution Charter has chosen to deploy that you seem to irrationally love and defend so vigorously? Sure, I’d like to move on. But as long as Charter refuses to deploy adequate connectivity in my region while charging me abusive monopoly prices, I reserve every right to be dissatisfied.
As I said before, it’s ok to admit that they made the wrong choice to go this path instead of PON. Sure, it doesn’t change the future, but there’s no reason to keep irrationally defending a bad decision.
