It's already stalled onboarding of HFC customers in Australia due to lack of modems. Apparently the supplier of modems (Arris) are unable to source enough SoC's from Broadcom.
Due to this, people needing replacements and any in-flight new orders apparently have wait times of up to 9-10 weeks...
Not helping this is that some people try to sell them in the secondary market despite them being premises (or rather segment) locked.
