Its just a matter of upgrading to DOCSIS 2.0 which the headends are capable of with the Cadents.

And pushing the rf noise floor of the cable plant far below what it is today. Just because the headend is capable of higher speeds does not mean they will be available any time soon.

DOCSIS 2.0 is much more resiliant to upstream noise, so that won't be as much of an issue as it is today with DOCSIS 1.0/1.1.
