lol, 'that once your outlay for the base MASH kit'was infact ment to say '...MESH kit has been payed'.

as i said above regarding the current ETA for any ARRIS docsis3 EUE, now looks like at least 'Jan 24 to mid-April', so its going to be longer than that before its geared up for mass manufactoring assuming its at the end and passes the Bronze tests OC....

Arris Intros 'Wideband' Voice Modems
DOCSIS 3.0 Modems Still Need CableLabs Certification
By Todd Spangler -- Multichannel News, 1/9/2008 10:24:00 AM

Arris announced the availability of modems that support Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification 3.0, but the equipment has yet to be certified by CableLabs.

The Touchstone TM702 embedded multimedia terminal adapter provides voice features and data service with speeds up to 160 Megabits per second, using the channel-bonding features of the DOCSIS 3.0 spec, also known as wideband.

Arris also offers a family of DOCSIS 3.0 data-only cable modems, the WBM750, the successor to the pre-DOCSIS 3.0 WBM650 family.

Last month, Arris's DOCSIS 3.0 cable-modem termination system was awarded "bronze" qualification status by CableLabs, meaning it supports downstream-channel bonding, in the first wave of wideband gear submitted for testing.

The 3.0 modem submitted by Arris, however, did not pass the certification testing. CableLabs' next certification wave runs from Jan. 24 to mid-April.

Arris is providing sample units of the DOCSIS 3.0 modems to "lead customers" for trials and testing, while it proceeds through the next round of CableLabs certification, spokesman Alex Swan said.

i wonder if that 'next certification wave ' will include silver certification, not that silver (bonded upload channels) really matters if VM dont see fit to massively increase upload rates way above even the hints in this very thread (kippa), as there wont be a vital need for it other than the already mentioned updated security and the QOS part of Multicast etc.
