It’d help solve broadband capacity issues in some areas by sharing the load across more frequencies. For areas that presently have no real issues they could push faster broadband.

If they released superhubs that could support 32 bonded downstream frequencies that’s theoretically 1.6Gbps shared between the users online in the area, and 500Mb realistic as a customer offering.

My hub currently connects on 139-323Mhz inclusive. I’m not near the results of my last scan but everything to near 403mhz is either legacy broadband frequencies or duplicates. That’d allow full 32 bonded downstream channels with compatible hubs.
