Either way, I am not getting confused, I was just trying to make the point that even with the 3.1 gateways and infrastructure available, one of the bonuses of providing customers with 3.1 equipment will be that it will be able to support more channels simply because it is newer hardware and more recent and will thus be able to cater for the new higher speed tiers coming out.

I think people seem to be forgetting DOCSIS 3.1 doesn't actually use "channels" at least not in the traditional sense of how they have been used up to now. It's all OFDM subcarriers from here on out (which is a good thing BTW).
If you want to talk DOCSIS 3.1 you ought to get the idea of "channels" out of your head and think more like LTE

Interesting, pretty much identical wireless hardware to the BT Home Hub 5 - and only a year and a bit behind...

I am finding myself wondering if this is using the 1st generation of the 6250 hardware, the 8x4 variant now.
Saving the pennies wherever they can be saved I guess.

That'd be no surprise. The SoC and the wireless chip in the Superhub 1 were not only el-cheapo'd to hell but both obsoleted before the device even came out.
