| Gator, I didn't know you had an D3 Arris modem. When did you get that? I always thought you had a Motorola SurfBoard D3 modem. Do you like the Arris D3 modems better than Motorola? Does the Arris D3 modem do downstream channel bonding also like my Motorola D3 modem does? |

When I dropped the 2nd, and kept just 1, I just decided to keep the Arris online instead of the moto.
They are both D3 modems, I think they both can do 4 down and 4 up.
I don't really like one over the other, just happened to be the way I kept my setup. -- What the heck is a GatorKram? »www.gatorkram.com |

| When I got home I rebooted my modem and it downloaded new software twice. Started with the one from 2009, then to 2010 and then the 2012 version. I've noticed since the update that i'm only getting 20-23mb down and 0.5-1mb up when I would normally get 30-33mb down and always 2mb up. Its like its reverted to when I had the 20mb plan, even though I have the 30mb.

| reply to gatorkram Gator, I didn't even know Arris had D3 modems out. But doesn't your Arris D3 modem have telephone ports for phone service though like the ones that Suddenlink provides us with? Also, does your Arris D3 modem have blue lights for downstream channel bonding like it does on my Motorola SB D3 modem? |

And no, it has no light to indicate bonding channels, or if it does, I've not noticed what they are. I bought this modem from SL though, it just happened to be what they had at the moment.

 atuarreHere come the drumsPremium join:2004-02-14 College Station, TX | reply to gatorkram Yeah. They started giving out new Arris modems that can do 8 channels instead of the 4. For whatever reason, my Netgear router does not see the arris modem as gigabit, the port negotiates much slower so I had to start using the D3 Motorola modem. |
|
 | reply to gatorkram The arris D3 modem we have has gigabit ethernet ports and my router reflects that. Also it does have a light for channel bonding. If its bonded the downstream light turns orange. When there is 1 channel it is green. |

 | lol, my SB modem goes blue on bonding |

It bugs the crap out of me, that the orange light is always blinking, unless the link is down. Ahh so thats how it works. I've never not had a D3 link with that modem. -- What the heck is a GatorKram? »www.gatorkram.com |

 | O.o |

 | SDL, any info on what this new firmware has changed? If anything? I had to have my modem re-provisioned by support after getting it to get my correct speeds. |
|
 | reply to gatorkram Sorry but I do not have that information. That would be handled by the Docsis team and I am part of the routing team. |
