[TWC] When are new firmwares pushed?

Just installed a SB5101U to replace a SB5101 I had because I wanted to avoid the rental fee. The new modem weighs in at 299 grams and the old at 330 grams so clearly something is better Anyway, old firmware was SB5101-2.8.5.0-GA-03-501-NOSH and new is SB5101NU-2.1.7.0-GA-00-388-NOSH. I guess they do a monthly push. Should I get the upgrade eventually? Thanks!

Also my values were at:
Downstream Value
Frequency 615000000 Hz
Signal To Noise Ratio 39.0 dB
Power Level 0.7 dBmV

Upstream Value
Channel ID 9
Frequency 25000000 Hz
Power 40.5 dBmV

New are:
Downstream Value
Frequency 603000000 Hz
Signal To Noise Ratio 37.7 dB
Power Level -0.9 dBmV

Upstream Value
Channel ID 11
Frequency 31400000 Hz
Power 39.5 dBmV

Seem ok?

Thanks again!!!

Signal levels are fine, as long as your HSD is working, don't worry about the firmware. Those older modems won't be getting many either way.
