My cable tech told me to wait on buying a home cable modem as DOCSIS 4 is around the corner. But so is Christmas. Any info, rumors or town criers know the status?
VIdéotron has been on an hybrid 3.0/3.1 architecture for like 8 years now, with no end in sight for the 3.0 portion. One of the problem is the legacy junk using up lots of frequency bands that would be needed for a 3.1 migration. Hence, their best service is still 940/50...Don’t see it happening any time soon with any ISP around me. The best we get is DOCSIS 3.1 with up to 200Mbps upload, if lucky. And this is something new, the upload was limited to 50Mbps not long ago.
might have been Comcast

You are going to love Xfinity if it's not just a branding type of deal. I say that with a heavy dose of sarcasm. They are THE worst company to deal with. You will constantly be hit with price increase pressures and broken promises plus terrible customer service. God forbid you need a real person to speak to in billing or tech support. The pricing won't be as bad if you have some competition but if you don't, look out. They use their monopoly areas to the max.Rogers in Ontario is marketing Comcast Xfinity services now. What used to be Rogers Ignite is now Rogers Xfinity. The new plans are with up to 200Mbps upload where the technology and infrastructure allows. One more Canadian business gone South (literally), I guess.

I was thinking to get one "promotion" 2000/200 plan for $50, but decided to stay Rogers/Bell free for as long as possible.![]()

Sounds exactly like Rogers in Canada. No wonder they teamed up with Comcast.
they're driving a lot of innovation
