Summary
So what does this all mean?
With DOCSIS 3.1 technology cable operators can deploy Gigabit services over HFC Deploying DOCSIS 3.1 technology is more cost effective than building FTTH DOCSIS 3.1 technology enables a migration to higher bandwidth services based on market demand Consequently, capital investment can be made consistent with customer demand

Looking at history can be helpful VM has a goal to improve on broadband speeds A small part of our network had legacy spectrum splits that only supported a 30MHz band, limiting its capability. 30MHz couldnt deliver improved speeds Opportunity to refresh HFC equipment
These areas had a number of older components The project could remove and change components that were seen to impact network performance Newer technologies could be used when and where appropriate
Remember Technology is the enabler, we MUST always be thinking of the customer Advanced customer communications
