Not necessarily.
The upgrade to 200Mb can be done quite happily on 10 channels if there are relatively few modems on each 10 channel group. Not cheap but if there's something pressing preventing installation of new CMTS it can be done.
300Mb, will most definitely need 12 channels as a bare minimum. It was tried on 8 and the results were.... unfortunate.

Do we think that's why they scrapped the 300Meg? Maybe we'll see it once more of the country is on 16 channels?

Re: Hub 3 channels?
They didn't scrap the 300, it was only ever quoted by a few websites but VM never mentioned it as a product as far as i know.
My guess is 250 or 300 next year.

Re: Hub 3 channels?
Sorry by scrapped I mean it didn't make it to being a final product, I know they were trialling it for a bit with some customers.

Re: Hub 3 channels?
300Mb is coming to some areas in the next month or so. Just not as a free upgrade or part of residential bundles.

Yes, I'm on a RiverDelta with 12 DS channels, it's an Ex-NTL area.
Thanks for the information, appreciated

Re: Hub 3 channels?
I just checked mine and it says I'm on a Cisco with 12 channels. Would that be the cBR-8?

I am a business user here, currently with the SH1 50 Mb/s based service. The SH1 is running the full 8 downstreams and 2 16QAM upstreams.
The CMTS MAC identifies the New Malden CMTS I am on as a Cisco - so wondering which variant, as I am interested in the higher speed business services with fixed IP address which are due to launch in February with the new business hub.
The ex United Artists network in this area used to be pretty dire I understand, but hopefully some of the upgrade work done on it has left it in a much better state now.

Re: Hub 3 channels?
How do you find the MAC address for the CMTS on the superhub 2ac?

Re: Hub 3 channels?
Looks like I'm on the new cisco kit not arris according to that site, any differences / limitations between the 2? Since both can do 16+ channels

Oh I know it's just a config change for them to upgrade us, however I think the actual main rollout's on VM's website is in line with CMTS upgrades from what I can tell.

Kinda right. Certainly 16 channel areas but the other part depends on your definition of 'business users'.
