The situation is much the same as it was when you asked, err, 9 days ago.

It's not really so great when someone who's apparently 64 is competing with someone who's apparently 18 in terms of obsession with network capacity and impatience.

A fair few areas won't as they are being overbuilt to increase bandwidth in both directions.

When I'm talking about bandwidth in that regard I'm talking about RF bandwidth, not Mbps.

A word very close to 'bad' came to mind.

Yeah it is sad but I've always wanted the best that's always been my thing.

You certainly seem to have access to far more resources than most who're 18.

Regardless you have the best VM offer for right now. Impatience won't get anything deployed faster.

I've always put a few things ahead in my monthly budget then others since i was forced to move here last November, kinda glad this flat had Virgin now.

I'm on 300 and haven't got the phone line.

Ah enjoy it before responsibilities kick in and mean your priorities have to change.

Re: RG41 5: 4 upstream channels

My area is still on old Motorola BSR 64k's I believe, so I'm sure we wont be seeing anything beyond the 12 DS and 2 QAM16 US that we have right now, until the new CMTS' are rolled out here. Ex NTL area in East Kent.

I'm assuming 2 x QAM16 is not enough for any faster than the current upstream offering, so upgrades will have to be done before we see 10:1 again, if VM does decide to go ahead with the rumoured boosts.

Re: RG41 5: 4 upstream channels

I don't think they would release on anything other than the Arris or new Cisco kit, however hopefully that's all that would be needed.

Gets somewhat more time consuming if they have to start overbuilding the stuff in cabinets as they will in some areas.

On the positive side when that's done those areas have tons of capacity and will be more ready for DOCSIS 3.1 with big upstreams.

Bond a couple of FTTC lines, or get one of these. Problem solved.
