CoxVegas join:2011-07-25 Las Vegas, NV kudos:2	Like Cox_LV_Eng said, patience. We are (at this point now, obviously, so not giving away company secrets ) doing it in chunks across the city. Since we're changing how a lot of cable modems can work, and we're trying to make sure as many people as possible can take advantage of 64QAM (and some other super-top-secret goodies ), a fair bit of effort is involved. In some cases, pre-checks require fixing issues in the field, then we make the change, and then go through and find stragglers and fix them. Rinse, repeat. If we did it valley wide at once, perhaps 99% of people would be fine, 0.99% wouldn't be able to use 64QAM which makes us sad, and 0.01% might have residual problems. (These are not the real numbers, just examples). 0.01% of Las Vegas is still more people calling in than we want and more field work at once than we want, so we do the pre-work and do things in smaller chunks.

I am sure they are main projects that are currently being worked on in your NV market. Which I am sure once upstream bonding is in place in your market, your local market will probably like a couple months of monitoring things to see how good everything is running. So I am not saying its impossible, you won't see a speed increase soon in your market. Just if there is, don't expect much of an increase on the upload side. As upload speed is still really limited for you, without 64QAM on the upstream, and no upstream bonding.

As upstream channel bonding, won't equal faster upload speeds for you right off the bat. Yes there will be a lot more bandwidth capacity for cox to play with, and yes I was happy when they turned it on here. But I knew the reality wasn't gonna be faster speeds now, but more down the road. Knowing that, I was just hoping for a more steady connection. Which I think things are, but I still have problems with upstream noise at times. Thinking about it, I am currently at the 5 month mark of having upstream channel bonding. Anyways I am not here to be a downer about things, but let you know the reality of how this stuff works. Also I am sure you can ask some of the cox guys yourself, and they will probably admit. That cox is very conservative about the changes they make.

Most of our cables are underground unlike some of the other places that got upgraded. So it takes longer and cost more, and we had recent flooding. Plus the valley is a big place. Also we have about half of the population just in the city of Las Vegas as Rhode Island has in their whole state. /joke

bryant313 join:2011-05-24 Las Vegas, NV	i am also getting higher power boost speeds on the upload used to only burst up to 5mbps now it bursts up to 7.5mbps download power boost speed seems to be higher as well bursting up too 120mbps

darknecros join:2008-03-20	reply to darknecros As for USCB I appear to be getting it now. On my cable modem page it is showing TWO upstream channels instead of one. I also just noticed it today with my cable modem showing a blue light instead of green on the upstream indicator, which means channel bonding.

CoxVegas join:2011-07-25 Las Vegas, NV kudos:2	Looks like you were load balanced down to our channel that's 16QAM for a little while - you're back on 64QAM for the moment. Normal activity.

bryant313 join:2011-05-24 Las Vegas, NV	thanks for the info when you mean for the moment does that mean i will be losing it again and going back to 16QAM or is 64QAM here to stay?

I was happy once upstream channel bonding went live here. If I remember correctly, when I was on a single upstream channel, and cox started using load balancing on the upstream. My modem would jump between different upstream channels, one would be 16QAM, and other 64QAM. Oddly though, if I was on a 16QAM channel, and started using upload bandwidth, the modem would switch to the 64QAM channel.
