Cable & Peak Hours
During specific times, many more people access the Internet (i.e. when people come home from work, in the morning, etc.)
During these PEAK hours, EVERYONE shares that LIMITED Bandwidth

Think of bandwidth as WATER and Cable Internet as a bucket that can hold only a LIMITED amount of water (i.e. bandwidth).
What does that mean?

The MORE users you have dipping their bandwidth cup into that bucket, the LESS you have to go around.

The Speed Boost Myth
Claimed Speed Boost by Cable Companies are TEMPORARY
If you’re downloading a 4GB HD movie, for example, cable’s speed burst would be gone before you’ve
downloaded 1 percent of the movie.
Some cable companies claim they can offer a SPEED BOOST service, but this isn’t the case.

Think of Fiber as a Lake with a FRACTION of the number of users filling their bandwidth bucket

At the same time, FiOS delivers 15x the downstream bandwidth capacity of
Cable’s DOCIS 3 technology
