120M : Uddingston upstream 3 channels?

[General Maximus]

sweet, hopefully we'll be on qam64 in no time

[RainmakerRaw]

I got the fw update last night (SH2, modem mode). Today I've noticed I'm now on 8 downstream (256qam) and 3 upstream (64qam) channels. I wish they'd hurry up and release >gigabit services. We're looking to move house this year and I'm already trying to twist my wife's arm to move half an hour down the road to where they have b4rn FTTP.

[General Maximus]

you won't get gigabit on VM for at least another 5 years.

1) They need to rollout 300mbits on existing infrastructure and cpe which will be an 18 month rollout schedule
2) They will then moved onto docsis 3.1 and need to trial new cpe and there will no doubt be a new tier of something like 500mbits (or maybe 750) with another 18 month rollout schedule
3) Gigabit will come around with another 18 month rollout schedule
4) That is 4 and a half years without delays so add another 6 months.

[RainmakerRaw]

Definitely easier to move house... B4rn offer 1Gbps and 10Gbps symmetric presently. I'd move in a heartbeat (it's a nice ruralish location not too far away), but my wife thinks it's too far because of 'family' and 'school'. Meh.

Given that the firmware update has apparently nothing to do with the extra upstream channels, there's a lot of people getting both at the same time.

They are actually related - modems on the new firmware on the same cable as those without may see 3 upstreams while their older firmware counterparts are on 2.

Note may not will and given there's essentially no upstream congestion right now it makes no difference to performance and isn't an indication of impending tier uplifts.

Oops, I missed this post.

Upload STM removal confirmed!

Alongside reinstatement of the 10:1 ratio with 5:1 planned for the end of the month, naturally.

please don't wind telfordcable up

[MagicUK]

This a wind up?

He's already got 16x QAM512 upstreams and a 1:1 ratio.

[Ignitionnet]

Nah he's fine. He doesn't care about cable, he wants fibre to the premises so FTTN/C won't cut it.

We want FTTP not FTTC

As I remember he was last claiming to be on a non-existent tier at a non-existent price point.

He then posted elsewhere having forgotten that he was supposed to be on Virgin saying that he had no interest in VM.

I see his posts across at least 4 forums.

[General Maximus]

I am so glad he as got the time to sit down and come up with all the bs.

He can always go to one of the many other cable providers that Telford has to offer.

[General Maximus]

I am sure he has founded his own company by now and has a multi terabit link to the backbone
