In general (non commercially sensitive terms), what does a node upgrade involve? New hardware? More hardware? What does a node even look like?

I found a youtube video but it only shows those silver boxes you see on the overhead cable every 200m or so along a road

I have some friends over tonight. We're attempting to watch Netflix, but it's unusable. The connection is complete and utter trash tonight. At best we're seeing 480p on Netflix, but it's otherwise sitting at 360p. Speedtest.net result:

Fast.com speed test that's more indicative of the performance we're seeing on Netflix:

Wondering how many months we'll have of free connectivity at this rate. Absolutely horrible.

There are still problems with Kapiti Cable as I am on 50MB/s service and we were getting 8-9 MB/s last night. I'm looking forward to fibre, but it won't come down our street until 2019. I have to say the Vodafone Kapiti cable has improved significantly, but some nights you simply don't get the service you have paid for.

In this situation, Vodafone is putting in new high capacity cmts gear. Cable is not a cheap technology to scale, and it usually involves rolling out more nodes and making the broadcast rings smaller per node. A ring might start as all karori, then become north/south, then north/south/east/west and so on,

The new high capacity cmts reduce the need for rings a little, but the too together is how you build capacity. Cable is not point to point links like fibre and dsl... Everyone connects to the common network and listens for the bits relevant to them, a little like wcdma.

Make sense?

A cmts looks like any other network box, it's a big piece of kit held in the data centre. Connecting it are nodes in the street (which use lots of fibre as transmission), the nodes then broadcast radio ala tv signals over last meter copper to your house.

there are amplifiers in line on the street for places where the signal gets too weak.

:( So are you going to bite the bullet and move?
