[AZ] New DPC3000 Firmware & Speed Boost

Hi All,

Had a firmware update installed last night at about 1:10am on my Cisco DPC3000. From v301 to v303. (Build date is about one year newer.)

According to the modem status page, the modem is now pulling in 4 downstream docsis channels instead of just one.

Could this have to do with the new speed increases happening in March?

What's the scoop?

Well if your bonding 4 channels instead of one now, then that where your faster speeds have come from. But they are powerboost speeds.

Not to thread hijack but since my firmware upgrade, my levels changed. I hope it's still within spec.

Channel 0: 9.9 dBmV 37.9 dBmV
Channel 1: 9.9 dBmV 37.9 dBmV
Channel 2: 0.0 dBmV 0.0 dBmV
Channel 3: 0.0 dBmV 0.0 dBmV

Upstream Channels

Power Level
Channel 0: 44.8000 dBmV
Channel 1: 0.0000 dBmV
Channel 2: 0.0000 dBmV
Channel 3: 0.0000 dBmV

Your signal levels are fine. The power is alittle high, but nothing to worry about.

Hey Brian,

You and Latin Kreationz better be careful what you wish for--I started bonding 4 of the +800MHz channels with my SB6120 back in Feb. My DL speed promptly dropped ~25%...

Same here. It seems to jump around thought. One minute it's lightening fast and the next it crawls.

Well i dunno if your on Premier or Premier+, But if your on premier, and geting 1.85mb's down on downloads, and if your premier+ and geting 2.5mb's, then your getting what your paying for. All them powerboost speeds only look nice test wise, because after the first 50mb or so of a download them speed are gone, and back to what you pay for.

I can say im lucky, because are Premier tier speeds were raised recently, with up to 30mbps with powerboost, and i get 3.4mb's down constantly after powerboost. So thats around 27mbps down for me. Only thing that sucks for me now is, i am having a horrible upstream problem, that cox has to figure out whats the problem.

RF looks good. My status page will not load for me, oh well. I will just wire up a SB5101 if I want the signal levels that badly.
