The entire network does not migrate to DOCSIS 3 nor is it more efficient, you simply have a larger single data pipe, consisting of 4 bonded 8MHz channels, so can offer a single 200Mbit channel to a node instead of the previous 51Mbit per channel. It means higher data rates possible and better statistical contention as each modem takes less of each logical channel.
Yeah, I understand what DOCSIS3 is, I read all about it, but I saw you saying in another post that VM would never use it as the backbone, that's why I am confused. Forget I said anything :P
