GreenEnvy22 join:2011-08-04 St Catharines, ON Reviews: ·Start Communicat.. ·ikTel Networks 1 edit	Which Thompson modem? Thompson/RCA make a bunch. The DCM425 is DOCSIS 2 and won't work with those speeds. The DCM476 is DOCSIS 3 and will (and much higher speeds) EDIT: Sorry copy/paste is a bad idea early in morning. Meant DCM425 is DOCSIS2, not DCM475

TypeS join:2012-12-17 London, ON kudos:1	The DCM475 is actually DOCSIS 3.0 as well and does 8x4 channel bonding just like the DCM476. @JakeG, the current DCM476 should have no issues attaining the speed of 30/2, you should be fine.

mlord join:2006-11-05 Nepean, ON kudos:9 Reviews: ·Start Communicat.. ·TekSavvy Cable ·TekSavvy DSL	reply to GreenEnvy22 As others said, both of those modems (DCM475, DCM476) are full DOCSIS3 modems, with 8/4 channel bonding capability. I have one of each here with 45/4 service. They are pretty much equivalent to each other in capabilities and performance, with just a slight difference in the type of tuners each has, and the colour of the LEDs. Either one can handle the highest speeds possible on Cable.

anon89 @46.19.141.x	reply to mlord 476 on paper is less capable than the 475? Can have 4 up channels but only from 2 of the range spectrums? While 475 can have 1 up channel, each up channel from a different range? That's what i read but cant confirm

JakeG join:2013-02-23 Chatham, ON	reply to mlord I got this from TSI a couple months back but as of this morning Im getting beta speeds for 30/2, would TSI take back this Thomson and give me a 475/476 and I just pay a little extra?

mlord join:2006-11-05 Nepean, ON kudos:9	Ask them. They no longer provision new customers for the higher speeds unless they have DOCSIS3 modems.

Differently capable, not less capable. My recollection is that one of them has a single tuner that covers a broader frequency range, the other has a dual tuner, each half of which covers a narrower range. Both give 8/4 bonding with Teksavvy/Start.ca here. Edit: here's the original discussion of those modems: »[Cable] Technicolor replaces DCM475 with DCM476 in lineup said by decx : The only thing I found was that DCM475's receive function has two separate 32MHz capture windows (according to Technicolor dual tuners) while the DCM476 has a single 96MHz capture window. Plus BLUE LEDs on the DCM476!

josh7878 join:2012-11-01 K2J5T2	reply to JakeG I find the blue LED's on the 476 to be very annoying. I have my modem in my bedroom, and I have to cover them up at night they're so bright.
