Different modems can use different numbers of DOCSIS channels. A 4x4 DOCSIS 3 modem is only capable of, at most, 150Mbps and on average 75-100Mbps. A new DOCSIS 3.1 model can do >1.2Gbps.
- notyourday 9y agoYeah, no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS 3.0 spec does up to 1.2Gbit/sec, just like Comcast. You know up to 200Mbit/sec, which is more like 20 because of all the "extreme complexities of the internet service".
- virtuallynathan 9y agoDOCSIS 3.0 supports 38Mbps per channel, which is in the table on wikipedia. Not every modem is capable of 1.2Gbps - The fanciest modem out there is 32 channels, which gets to your theoretical 1.2Gbps. If you have a 4 channel modem and expect consistent speeds of more than 100Mbps, you are SOL.
