| let the speculation begin! »www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/n···eed.html
Kansas city is going to be the first TWC system to see 100Mbps!
lite going from 1Mbps down to 5Mbps down
basic going from 3Mbps down to 10Mbps down
turbo going from 15Mbps down to 20Mbps down
extreme going from 30Mbps down to 50Mbps down
Ultimate going from 50Mbps down to 100Mbps down
hmm I see this coming to all areas that are going to 8 down DOCSIS channels:
Time frame for the the 8 channel bonding:
Dallas Texas (6 going to 8 in Q1 2013)
Austin Texas (late december to Q1 2013)
Waco Texas (same as Austin Texas)
San Antonio Texas (Q1 2013)
Wichita Falls Texas (Q1 2013)
NC/SC systems (except Charlotte and surrounding areas which is delayed until further notice) (late december or Q1 2013)
Kansas City (Already 8 down 1 up)
NY/ME/NH Systems (already happened or is happening late december or Q1 2013)
Los Angeles 6 channels already (don't know about channels 7 and 8 on the downstream)
NYC 6 channels already 7th and 8th channel soon possibly as there has been rumblings of TWC clearing room for the 7th and 8th downstream channels in NYC) |

said by motorola870:Los Angeles 6 channels already (don't know about channels 7 and 8 on the downstream) False, we only have 4.
All in all, I'm more interested in what's gonna happen with upload speeds...

This is what competition looks like, and upgrading to 8 downstream channels shouldn't take as long as it took to get Docsis 3 to all areas. But I'm sure my division will be last once more, Lol |

You might not have 6 yet but if it was anything like Dallas the roll out is staggered and it does not happen in one night of upgrades it took 3 weeks to do the Dallas system hubs.
The change is probably to upgrade the legacy turbo subscribers that did not get the 20Mbps upgrade like new customers did when they upgraded the tier. Although the Dallas Texas system had already given 20x2 for all turbo subs. |

| don't kill the messenger I saw it on of the other thread here a broadband reports some was asked if they had downstream bonding and they said yes they had 6 and their location said LA so that was what I was going by.
this is what I have in Dallas on SBG6580 with 30 down 5 up
I have a feeling that the downstream channels in my area will be moved out of the cell phone band come next month or early february when we have analog removals as I have had errors in the 780MHz to 816MHz range which is right in the middle of the cell bands not to mention TWC is going to have to reorganize anyway because SDV is from 735MHz to 771MHz and 819MHz to 861MHz leaving no room for a 7th or 8th DOCSIS channel. |

Lite has already changed to 5/1 Basic has as well to 10/1 Standard went to 15/1 The Old Turbo (15/1) went to 20/2 Turbo changing soon Extreme soon Ultimate soon All the hubs are bonded 8 down and maybe 1/4 of them are bonded on 4 up. |
|
| It'll be nice. The only thing that's changed in the carolinas is the standard which is 15/1 now. Are they boosting uploads any? |

Liberty, MO | I haven't heard anything for other areas but I'm guessing they will once an entire division is at 8 Bonded down and 4 Bonded up. Turbo will be changing here though for upload. |

So... 100 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up? That's a great way to compete with symmetric 1 Gbps. Somebody needs to learn these cable companies that, with things like the cloud and youtube nowadays, we need faster upload speeds. |

TWC is slowly working throughout Texas doing the upgrades. Right now they have scheduled changes for january to drop several analogs in:
San Antonio (cluster wide) 1-29-13
Dallas (cluster wide) 1-22-13
Fredericksburg 1-29-13
Wichita Falls 1-22-13
El Paso 1-29-13
to allow for the faster speeds on the internet. |

the changes to the internet won't happen the same night. Likely they will move the digital QAM carriers around on that date. The Dallas cluster had the QAMs rearranged when we went from 4 to 6 downstream channels for the internet.
Waco and austin are already making changes to the QAM carriers as they have put some of the basic channels that were SDV on to a QAM that is static and does not change so they can launch the HD DTA's. Also Waco has moved TBS HD from 75 (531MHz) to 41 (327MHz) to allow for TWC to use the analog space on 71 to 76 for digital services starting on the 18th of this month in the austin and waco clusters. |

Well TWC could add an 8th downstream channel in LA if they got rid of the QAM that is carrying the GAME1 HD and GAME2 HD channels in the former comcast areas and move them to SDV. |

I'll give you an incomplete grade for not reporting the upload speeds. I don't deserve a grade I cheated and copied they didn't say the upload speeds. But I have heard something about 10Mbps upload for extreme and 25Mbps upload for ultimate. My area could potentially support those speeds but would probably need to change 2 of the upstreams to 6.4MHz wide channels to be able to support the speeds. |
