Simply put, the SH2 is a fine device and especially in modem mode, it's comparable to the Ambit 300 except with the extra channels. Anyone arguing otherwise is seriously splitting hairs.

in VM support mode during that post?
Not sure whats so complex about it.
A docsis will assign 4 DS channels to a connecting vmng300, unless there is a fault or restriction in config. If there is more than 4 DS channels the docsis can choose which 4 to assign, it doesnt have to be the same 4 every time, so as such a degree of load balancing can still occur with 4 DS modems on 8 DS channels. Indeed VM have operated like that for years prior to docsis 3 eg. using 1 US channel modems in service groups of 4 US channels.
A vmng300 modem wont automatically get less speed in 8 DS channel service groups, in fact its more likely to get higher speeds as there is more capacity available to all users.
The sh2 a fine device which completely obseletes the vmng300? never used a sh2 so cant speak on own experience but there is problems reported by sh2 users so I expect the statement is false.
