Nah, they've just read the same article as above and posted a clickbaity headline.

Recon we will be testing the above...

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

Aren't these "SoC"s?

From what I gather, there are only few docsis 3.1 modems (prototypes) with Comcast employees for testing purposes.

I saw the photos with the white VM logo on it but I am skeptical.

I guess VM changed its mind and they will wait for a few months for the new boxes to become available. Probably the trial will take place when they are ready.

The superhub 2ac probably will be able to handle the 300Mbts in the mean time. That's my guess.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

The Superhub 2 is not getting the 300Mb released onto it.

Interesting, though the network is already 800Mb in places, just needs the right CPE to tune all the channels.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

Then it better have modem mode, or I will have to downgrade from 152Mb/s to 200Mb/s (!) just to keep my current setup (not double NAT'ing).

I know this may all be in the plan and I worrying unnecessarily, but whenever people mention using a Liberty piece of kit I get nervous!

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

I just re-read that article.

So a cable home gateway is rumoured to have a coaxial connector? :rofl:

An on/off switch too? Liberty are spoiling the UK.

It's really not possible one of the Ethernet ports will be WAN. It will have the phone ports. DOCSIS 3.1 is about the only thing that's 'rumoured'.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

I think this is just poor "journalism" from Neowin. This is sad, as I used to write for them.

I can only presume that by "WAN" they are referring to the WAN out (or whatever the proper term is) of Modem mode. Who knows, though.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

I don't see how/why one of them should be WAN seeing as it has coax going to the WAN. For modem mode, one switch port has to be active - that's all.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

That's what I mean, I think it's a misunderstanding and misuse of terms on their part. Given the rest of the article, that's hardly a surprise.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
 

Get ready Testers it's coming!
