VM's new build is 5-85MHz upstream and 108MHz-1002MHz downstream, with a field replaceable module upgrading that to (I think!) 5-230MHz upstream, 300MHz-1.3GHz upstream.

It's not necessary for the WiFi project, that will use relatively little bandwidth, but is certainly necessary to make room to go to from 8 to 16 and onwards to 24 DOCSIS 3 downstreams, let alone adding DOCSIS 3.1 into the mix.
I'll watch out for changes after the day of the network upgrade work and post them here when they happen.

Channels beyond 8 is where SH3 comes in I guess.
