I have just upgraded to 152/12 and have these Upstream channels:

Code:

Upstream          US-1        US-2        US-3        US-4
Channel Type        2.0        2.0        N/A        N/A
Channel ID        1        4        N/A        N/A
Frequency (Hz)        46200000 Hz        25800000 Hz        N/A        N/A
Ranging Status        Success        Success        N/A        N/A
Modulation        QAM32        QAM16        N/A        N/A
Symbol Rate (Sym/sec)        5120000        5120000        N/A        N/A
Mini-Slot Size        128        128        N/A        N/A
Power Level (dBmV)        33.3 dBmV        34.8 dBmV        N/A        N/A
T1 Timeouts        0        0        N/A        N/A
T2 Timeouts        0        0        N/A        N/A
T3 Timeouts        57        57        N/A        N/A
T4 Timeouts        0        0        N/A        N/A

Primary Upstream Service Flow SFID        29640
Max Traffic Rate        12600000 bps
Max Traffic Burst        16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate        0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst        16320 bps
Scheduling Type        BestEffort

Should I power cycle the shub1 (modem)?

Give 'em another couple years and they might even catch up with the upload speed BT were giving me in 2012...

Got mine today! :-D

My connection is still on 16QAM on 2 upstream channels too.

Adding a 3rd channel lowers the maximum transmit power using 16QAM to 52dBmV, so you lose both 2dB of SNR and modems that were marginal are now at maximum transmit.

Running at 64QAM over 2 channels maximum transmit power is 54dBmV, and in addition VM can use dynamic upstream modulation, so despite 64QAM requiring a better SNR than 16QAM (27dB vs 21dB after error correction, etc) if the cable is too noisy it can drop down to 32QAM or 16QAM as required.

Can't make allowances for modems that are too attenuated, and indeed a way to raise SNR on the upstream is to apply attenuation. When ntl moved to 16QAM part of the process in at least some cases was to apply 3dB additional attenuation to upstreams, making modems transmit 3dB higher to hit the target power and increasing SNR by 3dB in a stroke.

Once the networks have been properly realigned so no modems are in the danger zone 3rd and 4th channels will appear, possibly together in some cases as the power limits for 4 upstreams are exactly the same as for 3.

good to know. I think upstream is going to be the next big thing people start flapping about because BT are making a big thing of it and if VM leave everyone at 12mbits even after the upgrades take place it isnt going to look good.

Nice is it much better different to the 66u?

Those all seem fine, I guess it needs the more granular hourly graphs to show. Evidently not that bad!

Martin Dee, are you aware if they are looking for people on the Samknows trial just now? Or is it all full up?

It can take a couple of months for them to get back to you
