[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Comcast experimenting with hollow core fibre optics

[Drew King]

I'm anxiously waiting for DOCSIS 4.0. This is the specific technology 
that allows those of us on Comcast, and other non-FIOS providers, to 
finally get more than a measly 25 MB/sec upload speed.

Besides allowing for ultra-fast speeds, one of the best things about 10G 
technology (another name for 10 gigabit per second internet) is that*it 
won’t require any new connections to be installed, which means you won’t 
have employees from your ISP digging up your yard.*

Now that Comcast has demonstrated how DOCSIS 4.0 modems and 10G can work 
together to deliver multi-gig internet speeds, the company is starting a 
*nationwide rollout which it says will reach 50 million homes and 
businesses in the U.S. before the end of 2025.*

If you’re a Comcast customer looking for faster internet speeds, the 
company plans to begin offering 2-gig plans next year.
