Out of curiosity would we be able to use the 50mb config file on the current rang of VM modems? Obviously not to achieve 50mb but to allow the modems maximum speed. Or would it not support the config due to the new DOCSIS standard?

Oh I know the Ambit 250 couldnt handle 50mb, but I was wondering if it could still use the same config file...
