were are you getting this Meme from ?,
1:theres not been ANY official talk about any such upload rate any time soon
2: the current DS2.0b/DS3.0 CMs are only certified as "bronze" ,and to Bond the upstream you need official "silver" certification at the very least, there are NO Silver or gold/full certified DS2.0b/DS3.0 CPE CM kit as yet, never mind in mass production ready to be deployed anywere in the world.
3: IF and when this gold/full CPE certification does happen, your looking at a full hardware swap out of any currently installed "bronze" certified CPE CM kit in your home sat on your desk etc to take advantage of any offered greater than single channel DS2.0B/DS3.0 speeds.
the simple fact is, current DS2.0b/DS3.0 bronze certified chipsets cant be firmware updated as they didnt use FPGAs to be re-programed later with the erata fixed firmware and the current DSP fixed chips would need to do this in pure software, the CPUs inside the CM DS2.0
b/DS3.0 SOCs (System On a Chip)being produced now are not good enough to run gold/full cert in software only mode.
4: so IF we do see anywere near this 5Mbit upload rate your assuming we will get ,it will be purely running off the current
single channel DS2.0B protocol.
from a protocol and chipset POV, it can run already well above that 5Mbit upload rate speed fine (as can the current old DS2.0a NTL255/VM250 DS2.0a chipsets and even the DS1.0 chipsets can manage upto 10Bit/s on the upload speed OC)but VM will need to find far more freqs to put these new DS2.0
B upstreams on, and the related ISP kit is even today restrictive of finding more upstream freq space.... see the other 50 Mbit threads for more info....
