The upload upgrade is pure DOCSIS, so terminates at the CMTS.

The smaller child sites are going to get the upgrade before their larger parent sites simply because there are more components to replace in the cabled areas covered by the larger sites as they pass more homes. Case in point is my own, which should've been done last month, it is a 4 x VXR, 2 x BSR site, its parent site, Croydon, has 4 times as much CMTS capacity with 16 VXRs and 4 Cisco 10ks.

All the CMTS support DOCSIS 2 upstreams without modification, it's bonding that needed the new cards.

that makes sense, i suppos ei was stupidly thinking because the backlink to uddingston might nto cope with teh capicty that they need ot ugprade uddingsotn first before the speed could be available at castlecary but i get what your saying amkes sense now that it would only be the cmts that is the problem
