When they launch DOCSIS 3.0 you will see the speeds increase. I don't know if DOCSIS 3.0 is yet able to use power boost though. DOCSIS 3 is getting limited launch in the states. Japan seems ahead in that respect. You will require a new modem for DOCSIS 3. as well. Motorola 6xxxx and Cisco / Scientific Atlanta are the two I am aware of. Some companies are offering product of 50Mb and higher (Japan again). Watch for the term "Wideband" as opposed to "Broadband". Wideband = DOCSIS 3.0 Oh yeah, did I mention it will be expensive? Did I ever tell you about the time I got my first 14.4 modem?

I spoke to one of the techs in town and they are almost ready to roll the service out in Red Deer too. Did I ever tell you about the time when I got my first 300bps modem?
