Re: [Speed] Docsis 3.0 Officially Available to Residential 60/6

Ah I see. Thank you.

When following the TWC RR forums, customers there on lower tiers have been successful at getting channels to bond via the SB6120 and producing better speeds as a result.

Was hoping that carried over to RCN.

Thanks for the reply.

I may be wrong, don't quote me.

I am in the Lehigh Vallery market on the 20/2 with a SB6120 and I tried getting mine to bond a month ago and I didn't have any luck. It might have changed since then.

I will take a shot at it this evening and purchase a SB6120. Worst case scenario, it does not work and I can return it for credit.

Customers don't have any control over bonding... RCN determines when to bond, and how many channels to bond. I don't believe RCN is bonding for 20MBPS service. I believe DOCSIS3.0 does not specify what ratecaps can be bonded vs. not. So, if it made any sense, RCN could bond 5MBPS downstream service. (but that woudn't make any sense!) A single downstream channel can handle 38MBPS.

As has been mentioned (by me and others) in other threads on the subject, you needn't be concerned with whether your service is bonded. You should be concerned whether you're getting what you pay for.

If you're paying for 20/2 service and not getting it, call RCN tech support.
