In my experience from watching this forum, upgrading the modem makes little difference. If there's congestion, there's congestion across all channels.

When the upgrade came down though I was on the 350 tier. The thing which I don't understand is why you had the problem you did to start off with. As far as I am aware the cmts does not pick and choose which tiers it accepts. If the correct config has come down for the shub 3, even if your area hasn't had any upgrade/extra capacity added to support it (which is why they say your area hasn't been enabled yet), you should still be able to connect and do your stuff and you will get whatever speed you can and that is it. I may be wrong and hopefully Ben can provide some clarity. This is the first time I have heard of it happening.

In a sense you're right, ultimately a human somewhere decided to stop offering that code on the system - but it's not the agent's fault, they genuinely are limited by what they can do on the system.
