152Mb is a bit of an odd number, as has been pointed out before (apart from being more than twice BT's top FTTC speed). More than a bit of a coincidence that it coincides with Cable Labs rate suggestions. Legacy standards can have an ongoing impact on arbitrary choices in all kinds of technology areas.

However it's always possible they've chosen 162Mb (3 Eurodocsis DS channels) as the config size and not 168Mb. We will see.

Of course it does Seph, however 152Mb is still an arbitrary number for a Eurodocsis system until you put it into some kind of context that makes sense.
