Standards for DOCSIS 3 have been released. It now has a maximum
downstream rate of 160Mbs (up from 40Mbs) and upstream of 120Mbs (up
from 30Mbs). Those are in bits. In bytes, those are speeds up to 20MB
down and 15MB up. (Something seems odd, as I think the current
downstream actually goes to 12 or 16MB down, or 96-128Mb?)

Get ready for Docsis 3? Around these parts cable modem speeds don't
even push v1.1 standards let alone enter the realm of v2.

I envy the ones who'll be enjoying v3 speeds.

Doesn't do you much good until they increase your bandwidth allowance.
