How is this trial running for you Sir Sephiroth?

I noted discussion on DOCSIS 3.1 in this thread. Just FYI Comhem in Sweden have released 1Gb down, 100Mb up via EuroDoCSIS 3.0.

As I've said a few times still a fair bit of mileage in 3.0 :)

Let's hope they can get it cleaned up and get 64QAM possible across the board. The power is spot on, though, which is good.

When they did that, the downstream power jumped from -3.5dBmv to +3.5 dBmv. (Upstreasm stayed the same-ish). Ordinarily I'd have said they'd changed the amp in my street cabinet - except that they clearly haven't because it was an overnight reset when that happened.

I've had 1x QAM64 and 1xQAM16 for weeks now:

Is that a valid/normal configuration or does it indicate a problem somewhere? I mean speeds are fine, so I've not been bothered, it's just unusual to see two channels on different QAM's without there being an issue.

It's a legitimate configuration, but could also indicate problems.

Could be ingress in the 50.5MHz -> 56.9MHz range, there's an amateur radio channel there, or could be using some 16QAM and some 64QAM channels intentionally to reduce load on the upstream optics.

Depending on what you're connected to they may have changed some kit within the hub to connect you to a new Edge QAM and return path line card. Hosted on same CMTS so retaining existing DHCP scope, just CCAP equipment change.

EDIT: Not entirely related but I saw a guy mentioning 20 downstream channels on the Cisco 10k. Yes, possible, but improbable. To go past 10 channels requires installation of a 3 Gb SPA, and as far as I know these have only been used to go to 12 channels to permit release of Homeworks+. VM aren't doing a big investment in these, purchasing the bare minimum in fact, as they are getting shot of the 10ks as part of migration to CCAP. These are being used as an interim solution while issues like power, space and cooling are sorted to make room for the CCAP kit and higher density, dedicated M-CMTS.

People on 20 channels are on E6k or cBR-8 unless there were a very strange set of circumstances that required a very non-standard configuration.

I was wondering why i had 20 channels now I know.
