kudos:9 | WOW !! First time I've ever seen that !! Amazing though that the Headend has the bandwidth available to offer all those forward carriers but only one return carrier. I personally would rather see two or three return carriers rather that eight forward ones. Guess that upstream bonding is still in the testing stage in your area. Will be interesting to see if they actually keep eight downstreams when they finally implement upstream bonding on your system.. |

They aren't going anywhere 
I have 8 channels available here too but I'm currently using a 6120 so I can't take advantage of all of them yet. |

"I personally would rather see two or three return carriers rather that eight forward ones"
That part sounds good to me too, when and if Charter ever thinks about something crazy like this.

I can see the configuration on the CMTS. |

There is no reason why they would drop the number of bonded down channels once they have up bonding. The frequency range for down channels is 600+ MHz while up channels are in the sub 100 Mhz area (I am not sure of the actual range). Thus there is no overlap between the channels that can be used for down and those that can be used for up so the number of allocated channels for each are independent. |

I'm talking about total headend bandwidth including T.V. consumption. |
