        I seem to recall that even on egress charter cable showed multiples hundred of bufferbloat, so I would argue that even at docs is 3.0 the modems might be over buffered or under-AQM'd. The head end certainly is another problem...

        I believe this is supposed to happen with docs is 3.1 where PIE is mandatory in the modems. Now whether the ISPs will activate it or not I do not know.
