New CMTS installed in spare rack space, old equipment cut over to new CMTS. Another site took not far off a year, multiple CMTS's, not enough room to house them so a complete headend rebuild. Various issues encountered on the way. I can't say for certain but I would imagine major issues at one site could have knock on effects for others. Obviously I know nothing about the area you are fed from, so I couldn't comment, but all I can say is it's not always a case of chuck a CMTS in job done unfortunately

I'm in the Teesside area 30, postcode TS17 area. I'm on 24 downstream channels, 200Mb+ at peak times over WiFi and 350Mb is available round the corner. I understand it can be a complex issue but surely there must be some sort of time frame even if it goes past that time. At the moment I don't have a clue what's happening if anything and if I'll still be sat here in a year's time none the wiser. The bit that has annoyed me is they've made it standard on the VIP package which is what I'm on yet I can't get.
