Well it only had 4 D/S channels so it certainly couldn't have done more than about 200Mbit really, could it? And that's a good ol' theoretical maximum, we all know what that's like when it comes to wireless or DSL, so I would imagine that real-world performance on DOCSIS isn't as good as laboratory results, either (not that I'd know, or anything).

I'm sure it could have handled 150Meg, but they were bound to want rid of them at some point. Less to support, even if the modem itself was solid. When I was there, we were given a list of supported modems and anything older was just replaced, even if it was still working fine. Teryon's (Didn't see many of them, they seemed to have a habit of catching fire), SB 4100's and previous, any Ambit modems prior to the 250, any STB's at all that people were using for their internet connection and so on.
