| And Comcast is making good progress with the latest cable protocol, DOCSIS 3.0, which should allow it to offer 100mbps within a year or two. Comcast has also made its peace with BitTorrent. |
| The DOCSIS standard includes numerous features including the prioritization of packets to ensure a continuous transmission and quality. |
| All DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems use QAM in a six-megahertz television channel for the downstream. |
| Depending on the solution, the network is accessed via DSL, DOCSIS or optical fibre. |
| Indeed, the two packages, powered by DOCSIS 3.0 technology, offer very advantageous speed and pricing compared to competitors in Cogeco's footprint. |
| Future migration to more advanced DOCSIS standards will allow for the use of more robust modulation techniques in the return path as well as substantially higher transmission speeds. |
