Needed for Comcast's 305 Mbps option

Comcast is going to offer 305 Mbps Internet and that will require an 8x4 channel bonded DOCSIS 3.0 modem. With DOCSIS 3.1, they'll be able to offer speeds more than 305.

Comcast is actually using FTTH for their 1st offering, not coax. It might move to coax down the road though. It's based off their metro-e services right now.

I thought Comcast was a FTTN (hybrid fiber coax provider). In our area, they use coax in the last mile (even though the system was rebuilt in 2003).

Yes that is true except for the 305Mbps option that the other poster was speaking of.

I think they aren't doing 305Mbps on coax today due to technology maturity?...
