It makes no sense at all.
Yet there are tons of Motorola 61xx modems in use on Rogers network. |

Re: Bell now offering Huawei celltowers as an option. said by FiReSTaRT:A foreign government doesn't give a flyin' fuck about what a Canadian individual is doing with his home Internet account. Those backdoors would kill the company's sales, so chances are that they aren't in there in the first place.
But they MAY be in the new Huawei/Bell Mobility Canadian cell towers along the US border, listening to any US phone transmissions that the Chinese may find interesting.
If you think this is far-fetched, consider the US EP3 planes that continuously fly dangerously close to the Chinese mainland, in Taiwan straits, and the south China sea, listening, listening.
China has to get back at the US somehow.

They're doing so because the modems do not have the appropriate firmware revision. |

They're doing so because the modems do not have the appropriate firmware revision. They pushed the firmware out to all the 6120's quite a while ago.

That's correct, however I don't think they will push 1.0.6.1 to anything not on their network already. I got mine, like you say quite some time ago.

They pushed the firmware out to all the 6120's quite a while ago. Yes, but that does not update hardware not connected to the Rogers network at the times they did push the firmware updates. They did firmware pushes as they were rolling out downstream channel bonding. They stopped provisioning modems with the older firmware when they started rolling out upstream channel bonding.
The changelog between the firmware that is/was commonly available as shipped with SB6120 gear on the market and what Rogers has pushed included bug fixes for channel bonding and IPv6 I noted, among quite a number of other bug fixes. |

They provision any SB6120, there is no issue there. If you have a problem, and you admit you have an off FW, then they will refuse to do any work on your line until you "fix" your modem.
I believe they are still pushing FW updates to SB6120s. I think it was set on automatic, and never revisited. However they do not upgrade SB6121s.
If the FW version of your SB612X lis causing you trouble, send me a pm.

6121 is gone to, now it's time for the 6180!

To be clear I don't know if they're really not provisioning modems with the older firmware but just going based on the very few people claiming this is so. But I do understand why they might be strict about particular firmware revisions due to bug fixes. |

I see the TSI website mentions particular firmware revisions for all of the modems which it did not before channel bonding was being rolled out. What you have said does not surprise me.
I've heard that even if a modem were to be provisioned on the Rogers network that was not compliant firmware wise that Rogers will eventually notice it and bring it to the attention of the TPIA provider. Since they are able to see the firmware revisions of everything provisioned on their network. |
