Re: 5th Upstream

Someone near me (but not on my segment) says he had the 3.1 US channel added earlier this year but then got removed again and never seen since.

Yeah that happened to me, got the 3.1 channel added several months ago, removed about 2-3 weeks later and never came back.

I might escalate it to try and get an answer if its coming to everywhere (or at least my area), they may take my request a little more than normal whilst I am in the 14 day grace.

Re: 5th Upstream

A staff member responded on the community and said he is going to look into it, so might not need to go further up the chain, hopefully he comes back with a meaningful answer.

Re: 5th Upstream

Ok got a response from VM.

The hub site is 50mhz spec and the spectrum isnt available in my area for a 3.1 channel, it wont be coming in 2023, of course given at some point a stop will be put on DOCSIS, I am assuming at this point it means no.

So this I guess confirms the 3.1 US is not going to be universal around the country.

Given this isnt nationwide, I wonder the implications of potential gig1 upload speed boosts, as a 100mbit bump wouldnt be viable on just 4 3.0 channels.

Re: 5th Upstream

Well well, despite the assuring explanation I got from VM as to why I wouldnt be seeing 3.1 on the upstream for at least a year.

I noticed when checking my hub logs that I now have a 3.1 channel, and now also the 5th 3.0 channel.

Upstream evening congestion seems to be gone 54mbit upload at 7.30pm and graph looking consistent for the entire day.

This was the night before they added the extra capacity.

Re: 5th Upstream

The 3.1 channel is still serving me well. A couple of nights ago, my Hub5 was remotely rebooted by VM (according to its logs), and since then has been noise on my upstream with QAM rotating between QAM16 and QAM32 on all 5 3.0 channels.

However still good performance, looks like the 3.1 channel is handling the short fall on the 3.0 channels well.

Reported on the VM forums shortly after it started, and will see if they respond.

Re: 5th Upstream

Think my 3.1 channel is having issues, lots of t3 timeout errors, but because the hub5 doesnt show the channel status I dont know if the channel is coming back online or not, but the log is flooded with it.

Mine does now, and there is even more info on the Downstream tab that I haven't posted.

Re: 5th Upstream

Well they tried, what happens if it fails, do they swap out the unit?
