7 Downstream channel bonding?Most people here seem to have 1/4/6/8+ channel bonding. I have had 6 for a very long time, but my modem lost power yesterday, and now when I check the modem status page I have 7 channels. I have not restarted the modem since it acquired the 7 channels, but could this be an indication of an in-progress 100Mbit upgrade in my area? 
Thanks

Are you an internet only customer? Looks to me like you might have a trap on your line - before the 16 channels, the frequencies for internet were higher. The new service is 500Mhz to 600Mhz - see how all your freqs are in the upper 500s and get WORSE the lower the frequency? That is the opposite of what one would expect.. Unless there were a trap to block TV frequencies on the line.

No, I have TV as well(1 cable box). Our most recent tech did run a new line from the box between the line from the pole where it enters the house, this was months ago. It was ran directly to the cable modem. I have one two-way TWC provided splitter now that runs to a TV on that line. |

I can't remember now, is Waterloo part of the Rochester or Syracuse franchise? Last I heard there were no plans or information at all to increase Rochester past 50Mb. Earlier this year I had 8 downstream channels, went back to 6, now I'm sitting at 7 like you. I wouldn't put much hope into seeing 100Mb anytime time soon in this area, I hope I'm wrong though. |

Rochester.
That is a bummer. Last time I called phone support they did hint that 100Mb was coming eventually, but they couldn't give me any timeframe. |

It depends on the area honestly .. I am in the former Insight Columbus area that TWC took over and we have 7 down / 3 up bonding.

Why would TWC add a 7th channel to be bonded? Proactively adding capacity? I didn't have any speed issues, and could get 56.5Mb/s any time of the day. |

xnappo hmm the DOCSIS channels vary in frequency from system NYC is 300MHz range, Dallas is 700 and 800MHz and LA is 600MHz and 700MHz range it varies by area and region. now on the upstream they are standardizing it for the most part across all areas. |
