Arris SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem's Performance
on April 5, 2016
Posted by: Gari
This is a top of the line cable modem only (with 32 download bonding channel and 8 upload bonding channel) that could easily satisfy a 300Mbps download / 20Mbps upload or more (Ultimate 300 Plan that I have). I just replaced my Arris SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 (with 16 download bonding channel and 4 upload bonding channel) with this one, due to the fact that during peaks hours, usually between 5:00 pm to 11:30 pm, on the SB6183, I could only achieved 100 to 150Mbps download and about 10Mbps upload speed. While this ARRIS SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0, at least giving me 200Mbps download and 20+Mbps upload during that peak hours mentioned.
Pros: Still super fast download/upload speeds considering peak hours involved.
Cons: Still pricey. Time Warner Cable still utilizes 16 download bonding channel and 4 upload bonding channel which is the same as my old SB6183, while other cable companies utilizes at least 24 download bonding channel and 8 upload bonding channel to at least sustained download/upload speeds even at peak hours.
NOTES: Time Warner Cable seems to IGNORE the fact that during those peak hours mentioned, a wide area of services experiencing downturn, which means they should have been doing something on their back-end to resolve this issue; however, support phone calls being done are/were fruitless as most of the time were from outsourced sites which mostly giving instructions to reboot the cable modem with no improvement of the issue whatsoever.

DEBUNKED HDMI CABLE MYTHS BY WRITERS
on March 21, 2016
Posted by: Gari
Well-known electronics writers said that all HDMI cables were the same; however, I've used MONSTER products way back then (1990's) and proven its high standard quality and performance over-and-over again. I was recommended AUDIOQUEST CARBON by BESTBUY, but rather purchased this MONSTER product with 27 Gbps bandwith speed, and behold! ... Time Warner Cable's 1080i broadcast improved to at least 1080p, and beyond. Amazing color rendition, and detailed picture clarity... much more better than AUDIOQUEST CARBON I previously purchased somewhere. MONSTER PRODUCTS used to be the flagship in BESTBUY stores, but now promoting AUDIOQUEST products ... I don't know why????

5 out of 5Great modem with lots of channels
By Myrayn
Got this to replace a modem I was renting from the cable company that was constantly restarting on its own. While they were going to replace it for free I was tired of renting one from them and decided it was time to purchase my own. This modem is more then capable of handling the max speeds my provider has to offer at the moment and when they finally do bring gigabit service to my area it will be able to handle that as well with 32 downstream channels.

Download / Upload channels not fully utilized
April 9, 2016
I have 5 stars rating on this SB6190; however, TIME WARNER CABLE utilizes only 16 download bonding channels and 4 upload bonding channels ...the same as SB6183. I noted from other posts/blogs that other cable companies, at least utilizes 24 download bonding channels and 8 upload bonding channels on this ARRIS SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. Arris SB6190 specifications shows 32 download bonding channels and 8 upload bonding channels. That means TIME WARNER CABLE is again way behind from other cable companies who utilizes at least more download/upload channels that could fully differentiate the performance of this cable modem. Try http://192.168.100.1 so you can see for yourself the status of how many download and upload bonding channels being used by your cable company.
