Re: Hub 3.0
 

I had a fault ticket open for utlization and one of the forum team on the board got in contact to say it had been closed and my connection had been moved to a new CMTS. Asked if it was a new Arris, but was told it's the cBR-8. I've checked my CMTS MAC and it is indeed Cisco (not that I was doubting) and upstream like I say is 64QAM.

Re: Hub 3.0
 

Yes my ip changed

Host Name now

Re: Hub 3.0
 

Good to know, thank you. Knew it was coming but wasn't sure of the exact timing.

Okay could be Arris or cBR-8. The MAC address will indicate.

EDIT: In some areas the Cisco 10k is still in use but with upgraded line cards as there's no room, no power or other restrictions preventing deployment of next generation CMTS.

Re: Hub 3.0
 

Well my speed performance issues at peak times (which honestly weren't even that bad) have gone, but like I say I'm surprised to see only 8 downstream channels in use. My guess, something down to configuration which is likely to change.

Re: Hub 3.0
 

Is now a good time to mention that the cBR-8s are, right down to the line cards customers are connecting to, DOCSIS 3.1 ready?

Re: Hub 3.0
 

I was of the impression that both the Arris and Cisco cBR-8's are DOCSIS 3.1 ready? (hopefully this time you won't correct me ;)). I somewhat feel like I/we've hijacked this thread in another direction.

Re: Hub 3.0
 

Thank you for confirming am on the cBR-8. Just asked over on the virgin forum and one of the team confirmed it too

Re: Hub 3.0
 

8 channels also? Just noticed your PM, but would have only been able to say that Cisco have a lot of variations it could have been :P

I flipping love that. It is very easy to stereotype companies like this and google as being all technical business orientated and everything is about £££. They could have done a boring and technical business presentation on it but they chose to do something light hearted and fun and show everyone they are down to earth. I loved it and I just wish the seats were full for them.
