I saw this post on DSLReports and thought it was interesting. Basically upstream OFDM is being enabled in some areas along with a extra downstream OFDM channel. No new upstream speeds have been announced but I predict they are coming. Seems if you have 8 upstream channels you are close to an upgrade.
First report of 100Mbps upload on Gigablast. So it seems like AZ and OK are the two states with the upgrade.
Oklahoma here, nothing like that here
Think it is OK City. Where are you?
Eh just got the upgrade from 5 upstreams to 8 couple days ago. So it still gonna be a while before they do the upgrades from 8 Upstreams to 4 OFDM channels.
Hey, that is still a good upgrade. That means you are close too. Maybe within 6 months? Fingers crossed.
Also, I think the first upgrade is 2 OFDM channels down and 1 up, for a total of 3, not 4.
Nice.,.. My old arris DG2460 is 24x8...but not D3... I guess I am gonna have to take a more serious look at that netgear WiFi modem. I want a USB connection for a drive, though I may setup a nas.

I assume you mean D3.1. Also, watch out for the CAX80. I hear bad things on Reddit about it. Then again, the people who enjoy it probably don't post.
Yup, meant 3.1. There's been a LOT of discussion on the CAX80, and you're right, the most vocal of people are those having issues. I used to beta test for netgear back in the day, AND I beta tested the 6300 for Cox, working with their Docsis Engineering department also testing out firmware updates for them. Yup, I was one of the 3000 people who got bricked by an update, which is why I have the 2460.
There is also discussion about upgrades here.
