8 downsteamon 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. |

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. |

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? |

I've seen it go up to 58 on the upstream though and still was connected , downdstream was up to -3dBmV at that point. 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. :shrug: |

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? |
|
|
It will most likely be an Arris modem. They rarely (never?) hand out Motorolas now. |
|
|
to Wyldfox
A Motorola SB6140 or SB6180, a Cisco or Arris DOCSIS 3 modem since both of them are capable of doing 8 downstream channels and 4 upstream even though Cablevision isn't doing upstream bonding yet. |

It seems they give out the Arris TM802G it seems now as all of my friends that switched back from AT&T got an Arris and the Netgear router (actually decent, dual band and can even put DD-WRT on it ). Haven't heard of anyone getting a Cisco DPC3008 or whatever in a while. They don't do motos anymore unless it's the voice version of the SB6121, the SBV6220 which is only a 4x4 modem (still good choice IMO over any D2 ). The newer moto modems aren't carried by CV it seems, i wouldn't recommend buying it though since they are like $100! » www.amazon.com/Motorola- ··· s=sb6141» www.amazon.com/Motorola- ··· a+sb6180CV doesn't rent modems like Comcast and others do. They wont have a problem activating it though, i got my SB6180 for free but currently $55 used there. Called them up gave em MAC address and was off and running. |

They are giving out 8x4 modems to business ultra customers. 1 month ago we upgraded to ultra at work and got 2 cisco dosc 3 modems. 8x4 ones |

A friend at work who was using a Docsis 2 modem NEVER had Boost or Ultra and received an Arris TM804G last week. His modem is now using all 8 channels. His screenie is attached. Personally I'm waiting for upstream channel aggregation. -- Dave Sent via ASUS Transformer TF201 |
