While Comcast continues their plan to have 20% of their network upgraded with 50Mbps pre-cert DOCSIS 3.0 speeds by the end of this year, most cable operators won't be seriously upgrading until late 2009 or later. Cox CTO Chris Bowick says that Cox will be upgrading to DOCSIS 3.0 "in a limited fashion" by the third quarter of this year (http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=157472&site=cdn), though he isn't specifying where or in precisely what volume. Bowick says Cox will launch the speeds in "very strategic markets that require those kinds of speeds." That's of course code for anywhere Cox faces FiOS competition (their Northern Virginia markets are the most likely location).
