Docsis 3.0 modems are downstream bonding only

There is no reason at all to deploy docsis 3 right now. MOdems right now only do Downstream bonding only and are stuck at docsis 2 upstream limits.

Why go through all that trouble just to have to give everybody new modems again?

People like cablevision who already have docsis 2.0 are better off waiting till fully compatible hardware is on the market.

Do you really think that cable companies will upgrade infrastructure? Maybe if you live in a cable company footprint of FIOS. Unfortunately if live in an AT&T or Qwest overlap expect the cablemodem service (if it's available) to give you crappy speed & oversaturated nodes well into the next decade.

I have cablevision service and they upgraded to docsis 2 . Anyway there is no reason for the cablecompanies to upgrade to pre docsis 3; which comcast would be upgrading to ; because its downstream bonding only . That means 100/5 packages.

Thats a big waste. Also that would also mean more upgrades when the full docsis 3 hardware comes out.

IT stupid and a waste to upgrade right now.
