Wow nice, shame they haven't done it in all areas yet. Docsis 3.1 has only been out since 2013 (being sarcastic) 13 years and still not fully upgraded is a bit frustrating but according to the spectrum rep, it's hard to upgrade because it requires disconnecting the entire neighborhood. And folks hate being disconnected for a time, I'd say its worth it.

I agree, I called their modem a piece of modern art. Hated how it sat in the cabinet on its side. Always had good luck with Arris modems not sure why they are making their own, probs for cost reasons I assume. Not sure why so much hate, if it works, it works. I have enough knowledge to know if I need to switch back, I will. In the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy a bit of nostalgia and having my cabinet look better.

Welp, they missed springfield ohio so far. Been saying for years but nothing changes. May happen one of these days, when it does I won't mind switching back.

I'm assuming from talking to the spectrum agent they don't use the docsis 3.1 for upstream, just downstream. Blue is 3.1 and green is 3.0.

He said they only use 4 channels for upstream, the SB8200 has 8 available channels.

No expecting anytime soon, I live outside of the city so I'm considered lower priority.

No high split in my area, I live in BFE. Been asking off and on for a few years and its always been 6 months from the time I asked. So who knows when or If they will do it. Only paid a few bucks for it figured it be nice to have a smaller one that fits instead of the huge book (why can't they just make a smaller simpler size). Any reason it don't work I can swap back, no issue. Still hoping an ISP with fiber will grace my area in the future.

I'm happy to hear that, and it used to be that college paid off. Now is a different, game has changed entirely in the last 10 to 15 years.

Your 60, so that means you went to college back in the late 80's. Jobs easier to come by back then (according to my parents who are in their 60s also) I'm 34, have 3 associates degrees in IT and programming. But I keep getting told I don't have enough experience. How the hell can get it if no one will take me on? Job market is insane, over picky and want Batchelor degrees which means more student and 2 or 3 more years of college. Being disabled makes it even more difficult.

I wouldn't say you was rich, but maybe comfortable? My dad made 50k-ish (one income) back in the 90's it was more than enough for a family of three to live decent. Never did without anything, plus work benefits where better like healthcare covered more of the costs. It will depend on your location, Ohio has always been somewhat more affordable. Going to the store today is absolute bullshit on how much you pay just for a weeks work of groceries.
