| [OOL] 4th channel now bonded in north east BX (10475)Woke up to down internet the other day and checked modem stats and im now locked on that forth channel..
Lets see when they start bonding upload channels though lol
Please keep in mind i ran this test from work over RDP with a bunch of torrents and stuff still running so not the best testing scenario.

Nice! I'm still at 3 downstream channels.  |

Re: [OOL] 4th channel now bonded in north east BX (10475) Yeah not really sure why they upgraded this area pre say. I have been on boost and not boost plus for some time and rarely had anything but top speed.
About a year or so ago i guess a few other users got regular boost and my speeds became slow, a docsis 3 modem later and i was good to go.
From that point forward i never had a spec of speed issues but my guess is that since this area is sooo populated for such a small foot print, it only makes sense to keep areas like this up to date.
I mean im not complaining, its good to see them making chanfges to keep things up to spec. |

Re: [OOL] 4th channel now bonded in north east BX (10475) Still three here, doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment however. It would be nice if they started to do some bonding on the upstream side, and gave Boost+ users a 10 megabit upstream. |

Yesterday for some reason my IP changed. Today I remembered that it might be becuase some network change, and sure enough:

Freehold NJ, I got two more channels, from 3 to 5 last weekend. Speed test results solidly at 60 down. It was a big improvement since I was getting about 45 previously.
My modem, a Moto only supports 4 channels, but I'm not going to bother switching yet given that I'm getting good speeds right now. |

If you have a Motorola modem, how do you check to see if you got the 5th channel? |

Hrm that means there on 5 channels here. I guess since im getting good speeds im not going to worry for now, maybe ill wait till they release some new modems or i start having issues. |

| Someone else pointed out that for Brooklyn Bronx, with the primary channel being 687 (and not 603 like on the rest of the systems), the channel width is too large to support 5 channels except with the brand new Arris model, which has 96 MHz width instead of 48 MHz. It's something that I hadn't thought of prior to reading the post, and for that reason I don't think you'd see 5 channels even if you got an Arris TM802. So for the fact of "good speeds" coupled with that (but much more the first!), I wouldn't spend energy trying to swap it. |

The "old" and "new" Arris have *2* radios each either 48MHz or 96MHz. Both models can bond 8 channels. The 48/96MHz just effects where the MSO can locate the channels within the spectrum. With 2 radios they can cover a wide variety of channel allocations.

So for the fact of "good speeds" coupled with that (but much more the first!), I wouldn't spend energy trying to swap it.
We've recently seen someone posting (about DCC issues, I think) here with 639MHz, and I think that was in Brooklyn, so 687 seems to either be replaced by that (which makes the most sense), or 639 is additional, which would make it the 6th downstream in Brooklyn.
And no, no need for anyone to cry about their "old" 4x4 D3 modem being at a disadvantage: with D2 channel load-balancing apparently in place in all upgraded areas, traffic will get sufficiently balanced for a 5th or 6th channel not to make any long-term difference to individual performance.
Indeed, if there's more than 1 bonding group for 4-channel models, different 4-channel modems will occupy partially overlapping groups of channels, and create an even better load-balancing effect than merely D2 modems being moved around. That by itself ensures the 4x4 modems have a very long life ahead of them - gotta remember: they've been around for not even 2 years (Ultra on data-only modems launched in May/June 2009, VOIP models like the Moto SBV6220 started to appear for OOL+Boost in early 2010), while a lot of older D2 models have 6-8 years on the odometer - and continue to be highly usable given channel load-balancing. |
