That’s the part of the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) that we don’t have enough understanding about. Are the 3825s restricted to a very specific subset of the available channels, in which case you would expect to see slower data delivery as more customers ramp up to the 60 Mb/s service, or are their channel assignments spread out in order to minimize overloading any one subset of channels. The question that should arise is how well the network is managed with 3825s now running at 60 Mb/s. In theory you should absolutely see a difference as your incoming data is spread across 20 channels as opposed to 8. I don’t think you will find anyone who will disagree in saying that you should see better performance, hopefully to the point where you don’t have any timeouts.

Now that you’ve seen the performance of the 3825 at 60 Mb/s it would be interesting to see if you really noticed a difference with a 20/4 channel CGN3. If I'm achieving my max speeds for the most part with only 8 downstream channels, does it even make sense to get the Hitron at all? I notice that the Hitron has more downstream channels. I upgraded to the Hybrid 60 after Rogers allowed people to do so with the Cisco modem. In my case though, the closer I can move the modem/separate router to the entry point, the farther I actually get from my wifi devices so it's a trade off. Maybe I will try and test it at another jack closer to the where the cable enters the home. Again, not frequent enough for me to complain but I have noticed it on occassion. But if I'm surfing between sites, and it happens, that's when I notice it. I usually don't notice it though, for example if I'm watching a video, as the video will load up so much in advance, it can afford to timeout for a few seconds here and there. Sometimes, it seems like the internet will get stuck for several seconds or more, almost like a timeout, but then it will go back to be blazing fast.

I wish it was a bit more consistent though. Sometimes during peak hours it can go down to half and I can understand that. I would say for the most part that my internet is pretty fast and I can achieve the advertised speeds (60Mbps) and even higher.
