Abstract
Methods and systems for providing asymmetric Ethernet service are disclosed. An example method to provide asymmetric Ethernet service to a subscriber includes communicating at least a first portion of a subscriber data communication via a first asymmetric Ethernet connection between a first asymmetric Ethernet modem at a point of service and a second asymmetric Ethernet modem at a service provider location, communicating at least a second portion of the subscriber data communication via a second asymmetric Ethernet connection between a third asymmetric Ethernet modem at the point of service and a fourth asymmetric Ethernet modem at the service provider location, wherein the first and second asymmetric Ethernet connections provide a faster aggregated download bandwidth than an aggregated upload bandwidth to provide an asymmetric Ethernet connection between the point of service and the service provider location, and aggregating the first and second portions of the subscriber data communication for transmission to an Ethernet data network.
