Re: [802.3_EPOC] another argument for MCS

All-

Here is a another good reason to use different MCS'es: some homes will have LTE interference and will need a more powerful (and less efficient) FEC to overcome the ingressing interference.

Again, it makes little sense to force everybody to the lowest common denominator when the lowest comment denominator is low and the spread is high.

I personally think a big value of multiple MCS'es may be 1-1.8GHz downstream band.  At these frequencies, the attenuation differences will be huge due to different cable lengths between the subscriber right off the node and subscriber at the end of the line.  Once attenuation gets too high, S/N falls.
