SUPERFAST CABLE BROADBAND CASE STUDIES: OPERATORS’ USE OF DOCSIS3.0 CHANNEL BONDING

Cable operators have adopted different approaches to offering superfast broadband. These differences are apparent in the ways in which operators have allocated more channels to data, for example, in terms of refarming spectrum used for analogue TV, and also the number of channels that cable operators are bonding.


This Viewpoint provides:
case studies of the approaches that Com Hem (Sweden), Telenet (Belgium), UPC Polska (Poland) and Canadian cable operators Rogers Communications, Shaw Communications and Videotron are taking to deploy superfast cable broadband
an assessment of the impact on operator KPIs of launching offers with download speeds of hundreds of megabits per second
an overview of what was required for various operators to launch increased speeds with DOCSIS3.0 channel bonding and an analysis of the costs involved.
