A ) the channel saturation, as the others have expected above. Which is even quite possible with the 8 channel modems now, with people getting faster and faster packages.. (how the heck did we... and some people DO still! live with the D2 single channel modems?)
But the people with the 'faster and faster packages' are primarily running 24-channel CGN3s... so hopefully that should help with the congestion. (Of course, now that the 60 megabit package is available on with 8-channel modems, that may no longer be true)
(One thing I would love to know: if there are 20 channels on a node, how do 8-channel modems decide which 8 to use? does the CMTS do something smart? are some modems manually attached to some channels and others to others? or do all 8-channel modems share the same 8 channels?)
