I doubt it be requirement. Well, it isn't clear. D2 is theoretically capable of 2mbit upload (in fact 2.7mbit per this »docsis.org/node/69), and I know for sure you are right that they will allow 28/1 on D2 now. We don't know if Rogers will allow 2mbit upload on D2 modems though.. I might be jumping the gun.. D2 may still be worth considering for the budget minded on 25/2 service. Node congestion will mean that you won't get anywhere near 25mbit down during peak hours though. -- electronicsguru.ca

Node congestion will mean that you won't get anywhere near 25mbit down during peak hours though. Can't speak to sustained at those levels, but I speed-boost to 24mbit down on the 18/0.5 package on a D2 modem during peak hours.

People said this last time in the TSI forum and it wasn't true. I doubt it be requirement. Good luck getting the service to operate properly with a D2 modem even if they they would provision it.

Not really, their only legal obligation is filing the new tariffs with the CRTC which doesn't happen right away.

Two different types of Update/upgrades. Unless I am mistaken last time there was a bump it was roughly a month between Rogers retail customers having the speed bumps and the TPIA providers (AFAIK if they chose to, Distributel did not for example) customers receiving their speed bumps.

I take that back about Ultimate. IMO that's a bit on the weak side too. That should be more like 10/20Mbps up.

Node congestion will mean that you won't get anywhere near 25mbit down during peak hours though. I would say that D2 modems are still applicable for the new Express tier but considering that there have been two speed bumps in the last two years how much life do these D2 modems realistically have left. Surprisingly the competition between Bhell and Robbers is getting better in my eyes. We've seen new speeds rolled out by both incumbents in a tit-for-tat way. Each time one increases the other responds in one change or another. The last thing we need to consider is what is the delta between theoretical speeds and real world speeds. If D2 modems can scale to 90% of the specification and we can get some solid proof of that when the new profiles come out, then we can make sure this hardware gets an extension on life and isn't unnecessarily trashed. One thing I try not to forget are all the random disconnect issues people are having. I just had another friend on TSI confirm they are having this issue with their SB5100 on the 28/1 plan. I referred him to you for a potential firmware flash.

Well then your own question was answered by the quote in your post. The new upstream speed for Express will be 2Mbps. Or am I completely misunderstanding your question?

Then March 2012 was 24/1 to 28/1 Ahh right. I forgot about that mid bump from 15 to 24. After that we got the extra 4Mbps to 28. Thanks for the reminder, I thought there had been an intermediate step in there somewhere. Express went 10 --> 12 --> 18 Extreme went 15 --> 24 --> 28

The problem with D2 modems in a D3 world, is that they are very much slow cars in the fast lane, affecting (D3) throughput for everyone else, or at least very much complicating packet scheduling at the CMTS. It's easy to see why the operator might want to be rid of them. Cheers

Dones join:2008-02-14 Toronto, ON	reply to epsilon3 I know going from an upload speed of 1mbps to 3 is great and all but It would be nice to have 4 or 7mbps options.
