Re: Will Comcast operate DOCIS 1.1 and 3.0 on the same system. Since newer DOCSIS equipment, both on the cable operator as the client side, is downwards compatible, it is VERY VERY likely that this will be the case.
As a matter of fact, I would want to bet that there is a mixture of 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 modems running on most cable networks right now, regardless of what DOCSIS equipment is on the head ends.
They can't - and won't - simply replace all modems that are older but still work for those clients, it would be too much of a cost burden. It is better to leave that to it's "natural flow" and don't re-issue returned 1.1 modems, and replace them in the cases a client requests a speed upgrade.
