The optical node originally would have supported only 2 upstream channels and these might have been split between two nodes at the VM end line card. So that's a heck of a lot of users who think they're getting, say 5 meg upstream sharing just 40 meg upstream capacity.

A bonding group currently has 4 downstream channels with c. 200 meg capacity to share across one or two optical nodes

Great, so when they wang thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of customers up to 100mbit to share a 400mbit line we are all royally screwed

Do VM utilise BT's optical network at all?

And Igni has posted many times on the subject in that vein. (BVut the numbers won't be as high as you suggest).

In my area its just under 500 homes passed per optical node. The uptake is prolly less than 30%. In urban areas, that's gonna be 2,000 per optical node (uptake will be higher) hence my suggestion in another post of up to 20 cabinets per optical node. Then it's down to VM to provide enough fibre and spread channels across the 20 cabinets so that contention is kept to a minimum.

Just wait till they wang up to 400mbit customers to share a 400mbit line.
