craig I Was checking the old LE3 thread for something and found my old channel 7 frequency, it does seem although the modem reports channel 7 I am actually on the old channel 8.
Here is my old channel 7 frequency.

Upstream Channels
Lock Status Modulation Channel ID Max Raw Bit Rate Frequency Power
Locked TDMA 7 10240 Kbits/sec 44000000 Hz 43.9 dBmV
I am now on and have been since docsis2 45800000 Hz
I would have expected if merged for the start to still be 44000000 Hz.
Given my upstream is now looking more shaky utilisation wise I am also curious if I can get back on another channel somehow.
