My point, Kush, is that STM ion a saturated environment makes no speed difference to what the user would otherwise receive. The CMTS just punts stuff out; it can theoretically dynamically change one or more downstream channels according to configuration settings but I've never seen that in normal circumstances in any of the event logs published on the forums. Indeed it would be pointless because peak time on 8 channels would be peak time on the other 8 channels in a service group.

So is my hypothesis wrong?
