Re: Did Rogers ask you guys to upgarde your modem before August
Doesn't make sense ... upgrading DOCSIS 2 modems to DOCSIS 3 ... they're totally compatible. It would seem more likely that he has either a TeraPro, a Motorola Wave modem, or a DOCSIS 1 modem. |

Just to clarify, the SB5100 series modems cannot be upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0... if you want DOCSIS 3.0 speeds, then you need a new modem. SB5100 cannot do channel bonding.
However, if you meant that once they go live to DOCSIS 3.0 on the CMTS side, then yes, older modems are backwards compatible with the new CMTS's. |

H0H 0H0 | That's what I mean ... there's no need to go to DOCSIS 3 if you have a DOCSIS 2 and don't want to go to higher speed tiers.
That said, although the DOCSIS 1 modems are still compatible, they don't do so well even at Ex+ speeds. |

1 edit | Yeah thats the max speed of those modems, Docsis 1.1 can hit 38mb
Just checked them out.. they are showing a max of 15mb,but your friend must be on the Manitoba Border. not bad for BF Nowhere, and we city folks get slower speeds (probably for more money) |

I haven't received any such email, but then I remembered that my "master" Rogers email account is an old numbered account back from Shaw days that I no longer use. A few attempts to get one of my other Rogers accounts made the master have failed, so I haven't done anything.
Based on this post and since I have an SB5100, I decided to check what was in it in case these were only being mailed to the master account. There was lots of Rogers advertisements... loads of notices of features being dropped... nothing about exchanging my modem... but there, from early June, is a lovely notice telling me that my Better Choice Bundle is being dropped. |
