Pardon my ignorance on this one guys...I've heard of DOCSIS 3.0 before, but I have no idea how it works. The article says that existing customers will see a bump up in speed. Do we have to get a new modem to see that increase, or will it come no matter what? Did anyone see a link to which Chicago suburbs in particular have this available already? Thanks in advance for the help.
Yeah, I'm also curious how existing customers would get a speed bump unless they are also upgraded to some level of DOCSIS 3 service. In most areas of the county, we aren't even pushing the limits of what DOCSIS 2 is capable of.
