| Did your upstream modulation change or symbol rate? It's possible your upstream channel has more bandwidth to use now so powerboost is able to boost even higher... | |

1 edit | That channel ID of 11 is confusing.
Channel IDs say what port of the CMTS you are on in coordination with the MAC Domain.
At least, in the Motorola BSR and the Cisco UBR10k that I have worked with in the past 4 years.
With a channel ID of 11, that means there is at least 12 upstream ports in that MAC domain, which is a huge ratio (I try to go 1:3 or 1:4....1:12 is pretty much oversubscribed IN DOCSIS 1.x
With a channel ID of 11.....does sound like D3.0, as you can make the MAC domains a lot bigger because of the increased downstreams.
Edit:
This is mine, but I am NOT on Comcast, but I know for a fact I am on upstream port #5 of the CMTS.
Frequency 555000000 Hz
Signal To Noise Ratio 37.1 dB

| Yep, your upstream is using a DOCSIS 2.0 modulation.
32QAM @ a 6.4MHz channel width = ~25mb/s of bandwidth per channel. | |

| Finally some success, called Comcast again, talked to a really nice lady who said our Arris402P is the reason we are having problems with our speed. She continued to say that particular modem is for the slower comcast tiers and she is sending out a tech tomorrow with an ArrisTM602G. I hope that fixes our problem with us not getting powerboost. | |

4 edits | Re: [Speed] Higher upload PowerBoost? It will work with the Arris Emta if they have upgraded your area. Another thing the tech did when he replaced my modem was replace my aerial drop. The original drop was from the cablevision days, I would say 1998 was when they put the line in originally. They replaced it with this supercable, lol. It is, I would say 3 times thicker than the coax going into my modem. I have never seen a cable like this so maybe this is another reason for my faster speeds.
