Doesn't it need docsis, so won't work?

One NZ provides a modem included in the plan...

From memory you need to use their cable modem, you can't supply your own.

Disclaimer, I haven't had cable since 2001 and I think it was the 3COM cable modems around then.

The Cable Modem is just a bridge, you can provide any router behind that

It will either be DHCP+VLAN10 OR Static IP/SN/GW (with no VLAN) if the customer has been around since TelstraClear/Saturn days but not sure how many of those are left.

It was Com21, not 3COM. They sold their assets to Arris.

BYO modem isn't supported, but you can use your own router/home gateway, if it supports VLAN 10 (basically, if your gateway will connect to an LFC ONT, it'll connect to One's HFC network).

However, if you have a landline, you will have to use the One NZ provided gateway, since landline service is now a VoIP instance provided on the One NZ supplied gateway.

That's it! I knew it was com-something 🙂 I did some digging and this is one of the modems I used to have:

These are probably all long, long gone by now. I recall TCL used something different afterwards but can't remember which one.

Slghtly OT but I wonder how many cable customers does One still have?

If they had the money and the business case stacked up they could offer quite a compelling alternative to their cable customers over fibre using DOCSIS 4

Then not beholding to Chorus wholesome fibre costs and being able to ramp up to 10G/6G

I've been using HFC for over 20 years now with no real issues.

Had a tech in last week who replaced some dodgy connectors on the cable from the house to the street that was letting water in.

The Tech made a few off the cuff comments about HFC being much better than "fibre" which can be overloaded at peek times.
He also commented that he had heard rumors of One increasing the upload speed at some stage, but take all the above with a handful of salt.

Ironic as that's exactly what happens with cable! 😄
