you can expect to lose 1-3dB at peak times on the down which means a similar upstream rise.
What??????
I'm missing somthing obvious here, why should a peak in traffic which I'm guessing your referring to as peak times ie early evening onwards course a fluctuation in RF Levels?

By channels I'm again guessing that your referring to the u/s ports on the uBRs? If so am I reading the posts correctly in that the config the modem recieves tells which port to log on to, seems an awful waste of possible bandwidth to me. Ours log onto any of the available ones in its group, which can number 3, 4, or 6 dependant on card type and RF segmentation.
