you were in berkeley which was an ATT market. they were notorious for overloading their CMTS's and nodes. you were probably also on a motorola CMTS (garbage). the bad performance had nothing to do with it being cable and everything to do with poor planning on the MSO's part. I managed the equipment you were on, but had no control over the node combining plans. ATT would on avg have 1000 more customers provisioned to each CMTS than what @H and CMTS maker recommended. ATT is/was very cheap. things will get much better in those markets when comcast takes over in '04.
