After a number of years on 4x 16QAM upstream, I came back from holiday to find this:

Upstream bonded channels
Channel Frequency (Hz) Power (dBmV) Symbol Rate (ksps) Modulation Channel ID
1 53700000 4.5 5120 64 qam 13
2 25800000 4.5 5120 64 qam 12
3 32600000 4.5 5120 64 qam 11
4 39400000 4.5 5120 64 qam 10

This seems to have coincided with my 200Mb service getting the 20Mb upload upgrade.

I have noticed a little lagginess and packet loss, and once or twice a few weeks ago it has dropped back to 16QAM but seems to recover eventually. I assume this is just teething troubles as they sort out noisy parts of the network.


Downstream is still on 24 channels:
