Its simply another case of a odd policy thats too rigid and is possibly a contribution to overloaded docsis3 ports. It would be nice if we could get info on if kwikbreaks docsis1 channel is lower utilised than his docsis3 channels. (mine also for that matter).
You also seem to have handily forgotten that its not that long ago all docsis3 devices on VMs network were indeed using docsis1 for their upstreams. A firmware update in all likelyhood isnt needed and would simply be a config file required.
Finally every superhub (as stated by ignition) connects to docsis1 initially on VMs network when it has no activated config file.
Poor going from you nopanic as well, just a gut reaction from you to gang up on me on the assumption I was wrong.
