Many internet users chalk those moments up to insufficient bandwidth, not realizing that latency is to blame. Bandwidth and latency are two very different […]

Executive Summary The 10G platform is a combination of technologies that will deliver symmetric multi-gigabit Internet speeds. It will be 10 times faster than today’s networks and 100 times faster than what most consumers currently experience, and it will offer lower latencies, enhanced security and greater reliability. While 10G is a great leap for broadband, […]
