Cable Operators Continue to be Confident in DOCSIS to Keep Them Competitive with Fiber

The latest 2050 survey from ATX shows that cable operators are confident that their cable modem service will keep their service competitive with fiber operators for years to come. While those operators understand that fiber is the broadband technology future and the best option for new construction, many plan on making the most out of their existing Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) infrastructure with DOCSIS 3.1, DOCSIS 3.1 Extended, and DOCSIS 4.0 cable technology upgrades. #DOCSIS #FiberBroadband #HybridFiberCoax

They can be as confident as they want, they're simply wrong. If they aren't outcompeted by fiber on speed, they're almost universally outcompeted on price, reliability, latency, stability, support, and informed customers.
All of this is just excuses to investors hiding what is really a huge cost saving measure that will bite them, just as the phone companies tried to do and were forced into bankruptcy and/or to simply 180 and go 100% into fiber.
