However, the 22/5 and 50/5 tiers *MUST* have a Docsis 3.0 modem. |

Yes they should be using D3 modems, but some areas (IL, in particular) have been reported as upgrading users to 22/5, using D2 modems.
Not sure if it's and error, a D3 modem shortage, or an experiment.
Those that get or buy a D3 modem are reporting much higher powerboost, so it's probably worth calling in for one, or buying your own. |

If they are on a D2 modem and were upgraded to 22/5, they need to call Comcast to get a D3 modem.
Comcast has been trying to locate all 22/5 tier customers on a D2 and sending them D3 modems. |

kudos:3 | I agree that it (probably )will cause problems, but they should inform the sales dept. "NO upgrade without a D3 modem" and not allow D2 modems to be provisioned above 16/2, but for some reason they keep doing it. |

so the a tech came out and said that the arris docsis 2.0 is usable with the ultra 22/5 tier and power boost chan bonding isn't needed. |
|
| Sure, it's usable but it would be much better for everyone if you were using a D3 modem. You would get much higher powerboost, and your neighbors wouldn't be bogged down by your 22mbps on a single channel |

said by fartman1234: so the a tech came out and said that the arris docsis 2.0 is usable with the ultra 22/5 That is indeed true, but doing so may make you, and others subject to congestion/slowdown issues depending on how many other fellow subcribers are sharing the same single upstream and single downstream channels on your local segment..
said by fartman1234: and power boost chan bonding isn't needed. W.I.W., those are two different, and unrelated things.
Apologies for the echo with my first paragraph, but I figured I'd join the club around here..  |
