I'm on the Gamer 200 and surprised I still have only 8 downstream channels and 3 upstream, although guessing I might be on an older Cisco CMTS as the Homeworks 300 is not available around here. I believe the older kit does not support higher numbers of downstream channels, although happy to be proven wrong.

Having said the above, when bandwidth contention is not playing a role in the evening, the connection is not too bad. Tends to be around 190-220Mbps during the day and 15-50Mbps in the evenings (averaging around 25) which is enough for watching a Netflix HD stream.

I've not yet bought into the whole UHD side yet as I think we have another year of waiting for a few things to settle down around standards and technologies, not to mention prices to lower for same technologies and more importantly for content to arrive.
