Re: [Speed] Higher upload PowerBoost?
said by hussle87  :so do you guys think they are testing for D3 being deployed soon. that's the only reason I can think of why they they would do this. Possibly.
Could also just be upping the system(s) to DOCSIS 2 - like mine.

Comcast just wants to future proof and have a bit of fudge room, so they hit him with Blast! and now it looks like they're about to do something else.
22/5 on the D2 spec is completely doable and I'd think with AT&T's 18/1.5 announcement, that's what they're gonna do.
Screw having to get D3 hardware for it... |

Sykesville, MD | so I wonder what the deal is here. Whoever said the testing should be done by the end of september he probobly knows something we don't. Comcast was obviosly testing something here. |

S.F. Bay Area - FiOS is a no-show.
Meanest thing other than Comcast is(as stated by Chris) is AT&T DSL 2 a possible 6mbps.
But, seeing as the SBC(now AT&T) lines here sucked, 3mbps would peobably be the best available at this address.
The 8mbps Comcast service I had blew AT&T out of the water.
Comcast threw Blast at me and it stuck!
As for D2, that is what the ARRIS eMTA shows as being connected.
My upload PowerBoost went from 3.5 to 7mbps(still levels off at 2.2 after PB).
D3 would be nice, but that would mean a new modem.

Actually it makes a lot of sense to start using D2.0 Upstream modulation profiles. It's a simple configuration change on the CMTS and increases the available bandwidth per channel. Why not do it?
D3.0 for the time being is all about downstream channel bonding. So to offer next gen speed packages they need to increase Upstream bandwidth as well and without upstream channel bonding (which is coming next year, maybe.) they have to at least upgrade the modulation profiles. |

Sykesville, MD | why spend money on d2 when d3 is the newest spec. that's like upgrading from wireless g to super g when wireless n is available. |

Works just great and we get insane PBs |

But I believe they are doing D3 behind the scenes and where D3 isn't publically deployed (IE 50/5 tier), they're cranking everyone up to D2 levels which D3 spec is capable of backward compatiblity.
How else do you explain Dadkins being at D2 when 99% of Comcast is Docsis 1.1? |

Well I'm doing 10 things at once and watching baseball and football, but I could not find anything definitive on whether or not I have DOCSIS 2.0 in a quick and dirty search.
These are the only stats my modem will provide.
SB5120 Upstream Stats
Is it possible to determine without the QAM info? |

Yep. It is already implemented in the area/s where the 50/5 service is available with which they have supplied the downstream only channel bonding modems such as the Moto SB6101. |
