I remember posters getting upset over losing that third channel even though it wasn't actually accompanied by an uplift.

They can't just flick a switch. It requires preparatory work, CMTS firmware fixes and capacity planning. In some areas even network upgrades.

The deployment of an additional bonded channel via the WiFi sharing configuration was premature and the work you seem to think was done last year wasn't.

Hence these trials.
