Having access to multiple downstream channels will provide more consistent speeds and you'll be less susceptible to slowdowns caused by peak utilization at the node level.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23485864 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:07:47 EDT Re: [NV] Cox HSI Las Vegas NOW w/Docsis 3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23480592 madden2k5 : Yeah D3 will work with any tier, D3 is all about channel bonding, and balancing your speed tier threw a couple channels, instead of one. This is only for the downstream side atm, but it will help alot as mention above, if your having alot of slowdowns during peak hours. D3 is here to help stop all slowdowns and keep you having a steady connection.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23480592 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:03:29 EDT Re: [NV] Cox HSI Las Vegas NOW w/Docsis 3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23480299 iansltx : If other providers are any indication, DOCSIS 3.0 modems will work (and will bond channels) with other packages, but you won't see any speed benefit.

Which packages do they offer docsis 3.0 support?

Do all 3 packages support docsis 3.0 or just the ultimate 50mb one? I ask this because on the website, only the ultimate package has anything mentioning docsis 3.0. To be exact, here's what it says:

"Make the IT Techs at work envious. With the latest DOCSIS 3.0 modem technology, you access a new network environment that separates your traffic to keep your fast connection flying. And if you go wireless, get more out of your Wireless-N router. Ultimate Internet gives you the cutting edge in access making everything you do online unsurpassable."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23480242 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:15:36 EDT Re: [NV] Cox HSI Las Vegas NOW w/Docsis 3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23479054 madden2k5 :

Hey New2Vegas,
They definitely told you wrong! Cox supports two D3 modems--Motorola SB6120 and Cisco DPC3000. Cox only provides the Cisco, but both are fully supported. If you want the Moto, buy it from Amazon--$90 and free freight.
DPC2100 is D2 certified and will support 43/10 at theoretical max. Here's a link to Cox on it:

Well the cap for the ultimate tier is 400gb's monthly, that includes downloading, and uploading.

Picked up an SB6120 from Frys 2 days ago in anticipation of the upcoming Cox Ultimate service. lvcm.test.com shows 33mbps out of 88mbps, but 700MB file download from usenet shows consistent 18.5mbps, which is about 10-15% slower than my previous SB5101 modem. Obviously, I'm disappointed, but looking at SB6120, it is hardware version 1 with firmware from April, 2009. It's going back and gotta stop buying from Frys.

As luck would have it, amazon.com had SB6120 listed at $64.99, which went up to $86.99 right after I ordered it today. It was $92.99 yesterday.

No pricing yet because its still in the testing stages for cox. No reason for them to rush the new speeds out to just have customers complain things aint going well.

25516 Kbps or 25.5 Mbps (3115 kB/s)

Not sure where that site is located, Im guessing on the east coast? Few days ago I was downloading some files 350MB file and my speed was about 45 Mbps steady the whole time and finished in about 3 minutes.

Speedtest.net results are a bit fishy, but I like the results :) Got this just now

Cox are living up to their name and when I asked them about the sb6120 they had no idea what i was talking about.
Did you perchance talk to a guy named Dick?
said by warl0rd See Profile :

Did you guys purchase your modems independently or did cox provide it?
Cox will provide you with a Cisco DPC3000 for $100, or you can buy your own Motorola SB6120--either is a good choice, but they're the only DOCSIS 3 modems Cox supports. If you want to buy your own, try Amazon (see above), and remember to register your MAC address with Cox. Also, browse your modem's Configuration Manager under the Help tab »192.168.100.1/cmHelp.htm and make sure you've got this firmware:
Model Name: SB6120
Vendor Name: Motorola
Firmware Name: SB6120-1.0.2.0-SCM03-NOSH
Boot Version: PSPU-Boot 1.0.0.4m1
Hardware Version: 1.0
Serial Number: [edit]
Firmware Build Time: Jun 19 2009 15:56:47
If not, send an IM with your modem's MAC address to CoxTech1 See Profile or CoxTOC1 See Profile and ask if they would push it to you.
Good Luck and Regards

Just a few caveats:
said by ZoSo925 See Profile :

The other day I almost broke 100 during the test...
Most speed tests (and especially Speedtest.net) are inconsistent and inaccurate, but I think you'll find Testmy.net to be the exception--try it.
said by ZoSo925 See Profile :

...My whole network is Gigabit Router/Switch and all using 550MHz CAT6 cables from Fry's...
Awhile back, Cox cautioned us regarding the need for gear rated 5 to 1000 MHz, due to the pending system-wide EON (GHz) upgrade. I know this applies to everything on the coax side of the modem (cabling, splitters, splices etc) but I'm too HSI-ignorant to say regarding the customer side of the modem. However, I bet if you browse to the Signal tab of your modem's Configuration Manager, »192.168.100.1/cmSignal.htm, you'll find that your downstream bonded frequencies are at least 800MHz.

They are on the other side of the store near the Laptops and Printers. Somehow there are 2 different isles that carry Modems.

Yes you would need two modems for both phone and internet, they will just use there modem for VOIP only, and your 6120 just for internet. All you need if your in the same room with both phone and internet, is a splitter, and two short pieces of cable to run to both modems.
That makes sense. Thanks!

You are basically getting that VOIP modem for free because of your phone service. Just get the Motorola modem, then call up Cox and tell them you want to provision the new Modem for Internet and you are all set. Keep the existing VOIP modem for just your telephone.
To clarify: I would need to run both modems if I choose to go with the 6120? Is that even possible? If that's the case, my other problem is that since I don't have Cox Digital Cable, I would need a tech to come out to wire up another coax outlet for me.

There arent any VIOP Telephone modems that I know of that are 3.0 and would be very expensive or not supported by Cox.

You are basically getting that VOIP modem for free because of your phone service. Just get the Motorola modem, then call up Cox and tell them you want to provision the new Modem for Internet and you are all set. Keep the existing VOIP modem for just your telephone.

Edit: To save headaches and double trip back to Fry's, NEVER EVER purchase any modems form Fry's with an Orange sticker on it.

Basically, that modem was once used and returned and the serial number is registered with Cox. There is no way in hell Cox will add that modem to your account.
