Considering most upstreams are only running in D1.1 3.2MHz QAM16 and thus limited to 10Mbps using a D2.0 6.4MHz 64QAM upstream and a 4 X 256QAM downstream you'd have 160Mbps down/30Mbps up shared among 500-600 users. Upstream channel bonding is definitely going to be killer but traffic is still asymmetrical to the net so downstream is MUCH more important.
English, please.

Of course, we're assuming their plant is clean enough to run QAM64 returns (which is probably a safe assumption since they're spending time and money on pre-cert DOCSIS 3.0 gear in the first place). Nevertheless, there are still plenty of modems out there chugging along with QPSK!

Videotron is using *pre-cert* gear and if you read up on it, almost all the pre-cert gear's main flaw is it does NOT support UPSTREAM channel bonding!

Which means while they can offer 300mbps + down, on the up it will still be 30mbps SHARED upstream for all users on that section!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19939173 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:00:43 EDT Re: Yeah http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19938738 ossito16 :

I had the same question. What would the purpose be to have such high speeds if ISP's want to regulate, censor, and throttle our connections. With torrent sites falling like flies who needs high speed. I could imagine these clowns offering 280mbps down and 5mbps up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19938738 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 12:51:28 EDT Yeah http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19938697 ShadezeRO : I give props on being first.
