Service Electric Cable TV (lehigh valley) Channel BondingI went out today and bought a Motorola SB6141 to see what kind of DOCSIS 3 features they had enabled and not advertised. I am on the 25 MB plan and had noticed a slowdown in the evening.
I spoke the the Representative who said he thought they had contacted subscribers on the 25 plan to swap out their modems to DOCSIS 3 modems. He also stated that if I wanted to swap out my current modem to a DOCSIS 3 one in bethlehem i could.
He activated my modem and stated that he would update the firmware if needed as the 6141 was the modem that had decided to issue to customers.
I powered up the modem and the downstream light went blue fairly quickly. I have four downstream bonded channels but only one upstream channel.
