Arrival of DOCSIS 4

[sfx2000]

Are there even DOCSIS 4 modems available yet - I just checked over on Arris (surfboard) and they still have 3.1 as the highest spec...

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?

Who is your ISP. Comcast will probably be first. I think there's some areas that already have it. Spectrum will probably be next.

Why do you want DOCSIS 4 though? I have a feeling it's going to have some early or adapter pains.

Do you mean the xb10? If so then those are DOCSIS4.0. those have been out for a little while though. They aren't a modem but a modem router combo AKA a gateway. It also has telephone both via a rj11 port and I think even has dect to connect wirelessly directly to the phones. See link below

Yeah looks like it's the XB10 that's being used for this.

Everything with Comcast has growing pains. Everything is pain, all the time.
The Tech advised to maybe wait for DOCSIS 4 rather than buy a new DOCSIS 3.1. His advice was based on economics. I have been with Comcast since 2009 and there is always an issue that never gets completely resolved. As soon as I can find another vendor, I'm gone.
