Well.. If Rogers is really demanding 24x8 modems for their own customer on 10/30/60, then I guess you could argue that. If Rogers allows 8x4 from their own customers on 10/30/60, then the decision to drop 4x4 from those tiers is absolutely just an FU to TPIA.
Right now it seems 10/30 can use 3825 and CGN2 - not sure about the D3GN though at my office our 30/5 business connection is a D3GN (ordered pre "hybrid fibre", about 3 months ago).
60/10 and up requires the 24 channel device. I think the motivation to move 60/10 to 24 channel is because Rogers probably sees it as the new "sweet spot"; basically the "express" of the new offerings. Probably will have the largest number of customers so they want those people spread around the RF as much as possible.
