| 8 downsteam on the Milford ct system and woke to all 8 downstream channels on my arris 802 modem being bonded. Previously only had 5 available before. Does this have anything to do with the call i received last week from cablevision about upgrading dvr+ |
|
| Still only 5 here in Fairfield, didn't check Bridgeport yet.
DVR+ has nothing to do with that, probably going to be doing some speed bumps like Comcast also though since you need 8 channels to get anything more than 150Mbps speeds. |

DVR+ upgrades are unrelated to extra downstream channels. But congratulations. |

Is it only the Arris that gets 5+ bonded channels?
Can't recall ever seeing someone with a Motorola post they are getting more than four. |
|
| Unless they're giving out SB6180s which do 8 downstream channels to replace the SB6120s which only did 4 downstream channels, the Cisco DPQ3212 and Arris TM802/TM822G do 8 downstream. |
|
| I have a Motorola and I'm in Milford.....just not sure what you're talking about for me to check it out. Do you need DVR+? |
|
| Log into your modem at »192.168.100.1 and then see the signals (connect) page.
I do however have a Motorola SB6180 on the Fairfield Bridgeport border but no 8 channels yet, checked last night after our outage but still only 5 channels.
That's my modem at work now - with STATIC IPs so maybe that's why no change here (doubt it as the modem just connects to the same CMTS as residential ones).
/offtopic
Signals not so great but still get full speeds so 58/8Mbps last checked 20mins ago. That's the only reason why I haven't bugged em yet as they had a run a line from the tap for this, none was here before when we moved?!?
I've seen it go up to 58 on the upstream though and still was connected  , downdstream was up to -3dBmV at that point. |

There is also a SB6141 which is also 8+4. |

I don't see anything that looks like that. This is all I can find with RF..
RF Downstream Interface Enabled Up 42.884 n/a
RF Upstream Interface Enabled Up 30.720 n/a |

| Does it say on the back or bottom of your Motorola what the model name is? |

The Fairfield & Norwalk CMTS' have not been upgraded yet. DHCP & Static IP customers will see upgrade at the same time, as you assumed. |

Surfboard SBV5222. A friend of mine has a modem that he got after I got mine. Nice. So I went down to Cable to see if I could exchange it for the newer one (I don't think it was a Motorola), and they said it wasn't for my hook-up. You had to have boost.

Wow, we got 8 channels too! Ping is a little longer, but it seems to be working. We have an Arris in Dutchess County. |

Sad that it's not universal across their territory to swap out DOCSIS 2 modems...which is what you have and is limited to 1 downstream channel and 1 upstream channel at a time...to DOCSIS 3 modems. I'm on the standard tier as you are and have DOCSIS 3 modems. |
|
| I'm going to request it again then. Is it a Motorola or what brand and what model please? |
|
| If they give you a hard time on the swap out, tell them you want to upgrade to boost plus & have them give the modem. After they do the change, ask them to remove boost plus. |
|
| I will, but what modem am I looking for? |

kudos:6 | It will most likely be an Arris modem. They rarely (never?) hand out Motorolas now.
