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.

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.
