[Internet] Questions regarding TWC service in Milwaukee WI

Hi all,
Just made the switch from ATT to TWC for internet. $51 for 12x1.5 vs $60 for 30x5.

Bought a white retain version of a SB6141 (couldn't find a SB6183 anywhere), running a AUS AC66U (first router upgrade since my Linksys WRT54G).

Couple questions, in order:
1) What is the latest firmware for this Modem? I have:
Model Name: SB6141
Vendor Name: Motorola
Firmware Name: SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.12-SCM00-NOSH
Boot Version: PSPU-Boot(25CLK) 1.0.12.18m3
Hardware Version: 7.0

Anything newer that I should be using?

2) How many bonded channels should I be getting?
According to the lights on the front, I have multiple down channels, but only 1 up (Blue downstream, green upstream, both solid).
My readings show:

Downstream Bonding Channel Value
Channel ID 121 122 123 124
Frequency 693000000 Hz 699000000 Hz 705000000 Hz 711000000 Hz
Signal to Noise Ratio 37 dB 37 dB 38 dB 37 dB
Downstream Modulation QAM256 QAM256 QAM256 QAM256
Power Level
The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading
0 dBmV 1 dBmV 1 dBmV 1 dBmV

Upstream Bonding Channel Value
Channel ID 1
Frequency 33000000 Hz
Ranging Service ID 7203
Symbol Rate 2.560 Msym/sec
Power Level 45 dBmV
Upstream Modulation [3] QPSK
[3] 16QAM
[2] 64QAM

Ranging Status Success

I am seeing a a flashing blue link light, which should mean I am connected at Gb speeds, and when speedtest.net 'ing I am showing my expected speed.

Thanks,

I've got the same firmware on my SB6141, I believe it is the latest. Signal levels and SNR look good.

Out here in Brookfield, I've got 4 down, 2 up, but I understand it varies a bit around Milwaukee. 4 x 1 is not an indication of a problem.

It does vary quite a bit around Milwaukee... I have 4 x 4 channel bonding using a SB6180 (8x4 modem) strictly internet only.

Your stuff is perfectly fine. Might experience congestion during peak times but it should be fine / stable.

Why are you paying $100? Ultimate is $69.99 at the most. $64.99 if you get it online.
