Frank, I hope not, but the sales guy I knew (he was the one who sold all of the VOIP only CMTSs) is in a different field now. Their architecture was crummy and their reasoning for doing obtuse, but my friend was happy to sell them the gear. On 3/2/2011 11:52 AM, Frank Bulk wrote:
Wow, I was not aware of that, what a management and maintenance nightmare. Do they still do this?

Frank,
It gets better (which is sad) in the case of Charter if a customer ordered voice and data they were given a normal Moto SB for Internet data and a separate Arris eMTA (with no CPEs allowed other than the TA and the Ethernet port disabled) for voice. The channels they were using for voice even terminated on a different CMTS altogether.
