Re: 8 downsteamDoes it say on the back or bottom of your Motorola what the model name is? |

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: |

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. |

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. |

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 |
