Re: Should we have a Docsis 3.0 capable modem?

said by SysOp:

Sorry, I read that economy and performance do not use multiple bonded channels like Blast does.

So, what you are saying is that with the economy tier I would get channel bonding with a D3 modem?

Don't have economy, so that I can't comment on, but as for performance tier, yes, I have multiple bonded channels.

That is, in fact, precisely why I pointed that out.

I have four bonded channels downstream, and three upstream - and that is with Performance, not Blast. (The four downstream bonded channels I've had since I've had this modem; the three upstream channels are the result of CMTS changes.) For that reason alone, any reliability issues - peak-usage times or not - are pretty much certain to be outside of Comcast's control.

Basically "reliability, reliability, reliability".

I have four downstream bonded channels and three upstream bonded channels and I'm on Blast. I think the concept of multiple bonded channels is to balance the demand equally across all the channels instead of overtaxing just one which would cause a noticable slowdown?
