No RI which already got their upgrades will be at 110Mb while everyone else gets 180? That makes no sense.
But being an Ultimate user I really hope you are right. 180Mb would be bitchen. |

i do understand that but who knows maybe they will raise the Rhode Island speeds as well |

and I totally agree. Internal communication isn't one of their strong points...of course that always leads to poor external communication. |

Anyone use the Cisco DPQ3212 Doscis 3.0 Cable Modem? How does it handle compared to the Motorola SB6120? Currently I have the Motorola but (hoping for positive change in the next year or so breaking 100mbit/s for even premier) it may be good to keep an eye out for anything that might be wiser to upgrade to. The Motorola though has to be the most stable modem I have ever used throughout the years. |

So the 180 is power boosted I guess. Right on! Wonder when SoCal will get it. |

3212 is better than the 6120 as it can do 8 downstream carrier bonding vs only 4 from the 6120. If you want a modem look at the Moto 6180 or Cisco 3010. |

What is a 4x4 (SB612x) capable of, speed wise, in comparison to an 8x4? Will a 4x4 modem support the ~150MB service?
Also, in an area where only 1 downstream channel is available, will this even be available? We have 8x1 available where I live but I swapped my 3010 for a 6121 recently for stability purposes. |

I'm on Ultimate here in SoCal and am currently bonding 4x1. It seems like my line is having enough problems maxing out the 50/5. Not sure what a speed upgrade will do, but I suppose it couldn't hurt |
|

to bryant313
Speed upgrade without a cap increase seems silly and does me absolutely no good.
Just means you'll hit that cap quicker.
I really wish there was some competition here for cox (only other choice is ATT) |

not all of us max out our connection 24x7 but it is nice to have that bandwidth if you have multiple computer are need to download a large file |

could not agree more |

Maximum Theoretical Data Rate** 4 channels down - 171.52 Mbps (4 channels) / 42.88 Mbps (single channel) @ 256 QAM 4 channels down - 121.36 Mbps (4 channels) / 30.34 Mbps (single channel) @ 64 QAM 8 channels down - 343.04 Mbps (8 channels) / 42.88 Mbps (single channel) @ 256 QAM 8 channels down - 242.72 Mbps (8 channels) / 30.34 Mbps (single channel) @ 64 QAM ** Actual data throughput will be less due to physical layer overhead (error correction coding, burst preamble, and guard interval). |

On the Ess price, 1/5 the speed only saves you ~$10 |

Ya the price vs comparison breakdown has never been balanced. It reminds me of the Sharp LED tvs. 70" LED = $2299- 2999, 80" LED = $3999- 4599, 90" LED....MSRP has been going for $9999-10,999 at most stores that sell it (Fry's, RC Willeys, etc). That is a BIG price jump just for just 10" Where Sharp is feature vs price, Cox is price vs feature, and then ends with a giant price jump out of nowhere to get a reasonable connection for today's tech. Update: Finally found the 90". After reading about it, it looks like right after CES a few weeks ago and the announcement of all the 4K TV's coming out the price has gone on sale for $8000- 8999 although all the sites still say original price of $9,999-10,999 so I don't know if that's temp or not. Still a good comparison of price structure though ^_^ |

I was told (up to) 188 Mbps downstream w/ PowerBoost for the Ultimate. The info came from his email. |

Thanks for the info. I only have a 4x4 Docsis 3 modem. I'm going to buy a 8x4 one tomorrow. |

I guess I'll stick with the 6120 for now (4x2 I think) which should be more than enough for the coming upgrade since it's just a small upgrade on the upstream end of things. |

6120 is 4x4.  Edit: |

Hmm, I must have read something funny a while ago when I bought it...possibly misunderstood as well. 4x4 it is then! Even better for me I'll wait to upgrade when something significantly faster comes out. |

*Nebraska* After about 4 hours of downtime lastnight (12-4AM) I noticed that my modem went from 4x4 to 8x4 bonding.. lets hope something nice comes on the 31st! My routers firmware didn't update though, still using a build from "Jul 16 17:16:46 2012"

jayde, which modem are you using |
|

Based on his image it looks to be a Cisco. Possibly DPC3010. I could be wrong though. |

That's what I figured since the Moto's read the channels out horizontally vs vertically like that image |
