[Hidden-tech] DOCSIS 3.0 and WiFi N?

[Jan Werner]

You need DOCSIS 3 to get full speed from the cable connection.  If you 
can, buy your own modem.  I don't know about Comcast, but Time Warner 
charges $4/month for a second rate cable modem.  You can buy a much 
faster Motorola Surfboard for about $80.  Do the math.

As for upgrading your router to 802.11n, that will help to the extent 
that the receiver at the TV end supports it.  It will certainly help 
with most recent vintage mobile devices.
