Issues with Obi200 (pickup delay, long calls terminated, service provider issue)
caleecs:
That was my question about 3.1, whether there were improvements in reliability and robustness. I couldn't find any information when I looked so thanks for answering that.
I guess all this gives me plenty to try so I will follow your recommendations and see what results I get and check back in if Callcentric doesn't solve my issues.
Thanks very much again for all your help.

Just in case it wasn't clear from SteveInWA's post above, the **n prepend is only needed on outbound calls. Incoming calls on any of the SPs ring the phone and can be answered just by taking the handset off-hook.

@drgeoff Thanks very much for clarifying that. I was assuming it worked something like that, but wasn't very sure.
SteveInWA:
DOCSIS 3.1 changes the technique used to modulate signals on the coax network, and it's more robust and higher-performing than earlier methods.

DOCSIS 3.1 : First released in October 2013, and updated several times since, the DOCSIS 3.1 suite of specifications support capacities of up to 10 Gbit/s downstream and 1 Gbit/s upstream using 4096 QAM. The new specs do away with 6 MHz and 8 MHz wide channel spacing and instead use narrower (25 kHz or 50 kHz wide) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers; these can be bonded inside a block spectrum that could end up being about 200 MHz wide.[6] DOCSIS 3.1 technology also includes some new energy management features that will help the cable industry reduce its energy usage, and the DOCSIS-PIE[7] algorithm to reduce bufferbloat.[8] In the United States, broadband provider Comcast announced in February 2016 that several cities within its footprint will have DOCSIS 3.1 availability before the end of the year.[9] At the end of 2016, Mediacom announced it would become the first major U.S. cable company to fully transition to the DOCSIS 3.1 platform.[10]

Thank you for that information.
By now has Comcast fully transitioned all of it's locations/customers to 3.1 or do I have to call them to find out what is supported in my area?
