Abstract

Achieved bandwidths for existing subscribers are collected and organized into a statistical bandwidth table utilizing characterizing information, such as the Central Office (CO) that provided the service, the type of xDSL service that was provided, the primary, secondary, and other cable segments over which service was provided, and the subscriber loop length increment. To estimate anticipated bandwidth for a new subscriber, the new subscriber's characterizing information is obtained and used to select one or more entries from the statistical bandwidth table of statistical actual bandwidths achieved by other users that most closely matches the new subscriber's characterizing information. The statistical bandwidth information for the other similarly situated subscribers is used as an estimate bandwidth information for the new subscriber.
