According to Time Warner Cable’s most recent annual report, the company has largely rolled out DOCSIS 2.0 across its hybrid fiber-coax network and ‘plans to deploy DOCSIS 3.0 selectively in its systems during 2009, which will enable TWC to deliver speeds significantly faster than currently achievable.’ But will it?
Alex Dudley, the company’s vice president of public relations, has been tweeting like a madman recently, most of his tweets naturally concerning the data cap issue. When Stacey Higginbotham of GigaOm asked Dudley if the DOCSIS 3.0 rollouts were going ahead apart from the data cap trials, the response was surprisingly pointed—’it was scheduled as part of cbb [consumption-based billing] trial, but we all know how you feel about that.’ Ooh, snarktastic!
