Re: Rogers Upstream Bonding

Rogers currently uses QAM16 for upstream. I did hear somewhere that they will be upgrading to QAM64.

Whether it translates to upstream channel bonding and faster upload speeds being offered, who knows.

Are you sure? I'm using an SB6121 modem on TSI at the moment and it's reporting QAM64 2.560 Msym/sec as far as I can tell...

Ah, perhaps you're on a test segment for 64QAM... I'm on TSI as well on a SB6120 and it's showing this:

Upstream Modulation
[3] QPSK
[5] 16QAM

I would be surprised if most of Rogers network would support 64 QAM on the upstream ... just too much ingress.

No bonding here in High Park yet.

You guys with bonding on - you seeing any improvement in upload speeds?

I believe there would not be any upload speed improvements until Rogers pushes down new profiles. This is profile-limited. This should help with congestion though, in case someone had a slower upload speed (although thats usually not the case with 1Mbit upload).

upload speeds are going to be increasing VERY soon, watch your bill notices:)

Do I need the new cisco modem for channel bonding?? I have not exchange the smc modem. Yesterday I look at the cable status through smc, it still shows only one channel which it is channel 1.

Rogers pushed firmware to SB6120s last week. This is probably the reason why they did it. We're test subjects. When they're ready for everyone, I'm sure they'll enable it on the crappy SMCs.
