Re: 8 Channel DOCSIS 3.0 has arrived!

Neat. My modem is using 2 upstream channels, though.
When I drive by the headend today, I saw a whole bunch of old Power Guard UPS's. Do you think they're upgrading the backup batteries in their plant?

They must be doing something in the area. My cable tv and internet were both down for a bit this afternoon.

:We can only hope. Id seriously like to see more than an hour of backup before everything goes away...

I hope they throw those 15 year old pieces of junk away. They take 8 seconds just to kick in, which screws up my server during power outages and makes my backup system useless. And that's if it even works.
