Re: Let's keep all DOCSIS 3.0 Discussion in this thread, please

My question... I live in the Boston area, and hear we will be DOCSIS 3.0 live anyday now. My question. I have the Arris 502G eMTA. How do they upgrade that to 3.0? Firmware? etc?

DOCSIS 3 FEATURES need new HARDWARE, a simple modem firmware upgrade won't do it.

A DOCSIS 2.0 modem will work fine on a DOCSIS 3.0 system if you don't need any of the new DOCSIS 3 features like IPv6, channel bonding, increased security, better diagnostics, etc.

But would I get the new speed Tier?

Not 50 mb down.

You'll need a channel bonding modem for that.

Now that it is the fourth quarter and over the last couple of months there have been, less than popular, announcements, it would be nice if they would at least announce the initial markets. Would help to balance things out a bit in my opinion.

I doubt they would announce the territories that will be getting Extreme. They never announced when Blast was being launched in each area.
