Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

That's a bit **** (can't think of any other way to say it). Luckily both of mine are qam64 but knowing that non-identical pairs are pointless you would have thought they would only spend the time and money doing the upgrades if they could ensure that all channels in the bonding group run on the same modulation.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

We have 3x64qam upstream channels here and have been for quite sometime.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

Yes - I had 3 upstream channels for a while before the 4th came along. One of them has always remained 16QAM. VM won't want to keep the 25.8MHz channel at 16QAM but they're taking their time getting onto that.

I'm waiting for the business 350Mb becoming in my area, then I may condider coming back to VM.

How about you Seph? Better SLA and no need for a phone line.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

I personally don't have a phone line, but use a SIP service from voipfone who are cheap as chips. My good upload rate means that the service is usually a pretty high quality.

To be perfectly honest, our outgoing calls are minimal and the SIP phone service is kept largely as a way to allow family to call the house more than anything else.

One of the limitations of parts of the network is the outside plant where the amps in the street can use freq over 50 mhz . But the new kit being rolled out is more than capable . So being able to use more freq in the upstream will help . Docsis 3.1 rewrites the way HFC plant works using OFDM which can deliver some great upstream and downstream speeds :)

I am hoping to sign up to Homeworks next month because I like the idea of 300/30. I am glad homeworks+ is an optional extra because when I saw that somebody would be coming round to my house and playing with my wifi settings my immediate reaction was :sniper:

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

I used to have 3 upstreams and now I back to 2 but strange how I used to be on 16 D/S and now I back to 8 D/S

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

Possibly a reseg happened?

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

I would expect a reseg to increase the number of channels so as to reach the VM target of 20/24 DS and 4 US.

A reduction suggests that a CMTS has gone out of service and the displaced people have been swung onto another CMTS, reconfigured to share out the now meagre resources.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

Seems I have finally moved from 3 upstream channels to 4. Downstream still at 8.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

Interesting, I've recently gone to 24 downstreams, but still on 2 (mismatched qam ) upstreams.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

I am still on two. I had a third one which was qam16 for a couple of months a few years ago when they were trying to push out the wifi sharing thing for the first time but it got taken away when they knocked it on the head.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?
 

After a 14 hour outage covering the most of Wirral on Fri 30th June it all came back on with 4 upstream channels all at 16QAM, before that it was always 2 channels at 64QAM so have I gone backwards?

7 minutes after that screenshot and the power levels have dropped to 40/41dBmv
