Re: New Modem

All areas should be going to 8 channels sooner or later, and probably 2 upstreams, the superhub will lock onto all 8 down and 3 up, whereas the VMNG300 will only lock onto 4 of the available downstreams, and both of the 2 upstreams, and will handle 120mb just fine, just less efficient load balancing across the channels

Re: New Modem

I doubt you would notice a difference, infact 4 channels on the VMNG will probably outperform the superhub for browsing and everyday use. You will only notice the speed drop in more congested areas where there is a severe amount of downstream congestion (which there shouldnt be anyway) and if there was, the superhub would double its effects by buffering all those packets, so its a win win situation keeping the VMNG really

I thought the VMNG turned into a glitchball once more channels got pushed

Re: New Modem

Downstream power levels are a little low, try taking off a 'Forward Path Attenuator' if you have one.
