    realistically 3.1 doesn't really buy you anything until you get in the 300mbps+  cable internet speeds  
    My understanding (I could be wrong) is that, the benifets of DOCSIS 3.1 are higher bandwidth at higher frequencies For better error correction and latency. For the ISP they also have much better power efficiency over greater distance using already in place cabling.

    DOCSIS 3.0 supports approximately 38 Mbps at good signal strength per channel. Now that DOCSIS 3.0 modems are hitting 32 channels, that equals 1216Mbps. 

    I agree that most people don’t even need 75 Mbps internet speeds. DOCSIS 3.0 can hit well above that already. As of right now, ISP gain more form DOCSIS 3.1 for bandwidth and efficiency then customers needing higher downstream speed increases. I find it odd that people keep pushing for the 3.1 upgrade as if they are going to ever use that added bandwidth.

    I am really REALLY happy to hear column browser is back in the Music app. 

    I’ve been emailing Tim Cook and posting on every discussion thread on Apple support about this. I know my nagging probably didn’t actually make changes. But I’m glad somebody listened to the crowd!! 

    I have over 35K of songs in Apple Music/iTunes app. Without the column browser the Music app was useless to me. I actually started to load my music onto an old junk windows laptop just so I can keep using iTunes that still had the column browser.
