I recently read that
Comcast has started 3.1 trials with an aim to start rolling out in 2016. I'm sure that'll be tail-end 2016 but either way, it would mean that 2016/2017 is a realistic time frame for 3.1 deployments.
That to me says moving to 12/16/24 downstream channels in the meantime makes the most sense. While you're at it, prep the network for 3.1 deployment. When you can, start shipping 3.1 capable equipment and it'll all come together.
