Telf13 finally got 2xQAM64 last Thursday. Was previously on 2xQAM16. I'm on Telf14, still on 2xQAM16. Not usually too far behind once Telf13 is done.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?

I may have missed the post already saying that Manchester has 4 upstream bonded channels. Or is this now standard for SH3.


I was so pleased to at last get more than 50 Mbps I never noticed whether I had had 4 up 20 down all along.

All shubs can use a 4 channel bonding group if it is made available.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?

All depends on the area. The network I work on is currently running 42mhz filters so there are only 3 upstreams in total. Once the amplifiers are upgraded this will open up more spectrum both forward and return. Different areas will have different equipment and different capabilities.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?

Another point to add, the areas with 4 bonded upstreams have most likely always had 4 upstreams. It's probably the case they have only recently become bonded

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?

That will explain what I have been seeing. I am on the business service on the Hitron. In this area (fed from New Malden) I see two upstreams, but after different reboots the two I see is different. It looks like there are three available, but which two of the three I get varies.

Re: Upstream channel bonding: Any plans to bond more than 2?

Are the upstreams brought up to QAM64 before all 4 are bonded? Or are there areas with say 4x QAM16 bonded?

They started upgrading to qam64 a long time before they thpught about 4 upstreams so if/when you get 4 upstreams they should all be qam64. That being said, there were areas that were on 3 upstreams before before the upgrade work begun to bring them up to qam64 so it is possible that when some areas move to 4 upstreams that they'll have a mix of qam64 and qam16. I am still on 2 upstreams and i had one of each for a long time.
