[AusNOG] Telstra Cable - Multiple-Access

[Michael Bowe]

On HFC, the ISP can't tell the exact physical location of any particular
modem.

 

1 premise with 4 modems looks and performs exactly the same as 4 premises
with 1 modem.

 

If your neighbour brings his modem to your house, it will work fine and the
ISP will be none the wiser.

 

The only technical limitation of dumping heaps of modems into one premise is
you lose signal every time you add another split. Once the signal goes below
the required threshold the modems will stop working.

 

HFC ISPs will often have commercial rules preventing customers from
installing multiple modems :

1)      because they don't want any given customer to dominate the node's
bandwidth.

2)      more importantly they want to encourage/force such high-volume
customers onto a more profitable fibre service instead.

Hey all,

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to get Telstra Cable connected multiple
times in a single premises?

 

Many places have multiple cable connectors and you can get multiple Foxtel
services, but I am wondering if you can do the same with the actual Bigpond
Cable part.

 

Also, if it is possible, would both (or more) connections be at 100mb (if
you ordered it).  I realise there is a shared medium for the segment you are
on.

 

Thanks ;-)
