Obviously there will be announcements, how 'big' these announcements will be, how many areas and how far into the future they'll cover I've no idea and I doubt that those who do know, if anyone does, will be in a position to answer for right now.

This is something that'll continue as time goes on. To serve the new areas either Cisco 10ks or Arris E6ks will be installed.

Unsure about those as they should be going to the overlay network at some point soon.
Is there anyway of knowing what BSR you are on? The reason i ask i had two techs here last week trying to find an issue where my hub was dropping offline sometimes for a few minutes and sometimes for hours in the early hours. The Second tech that came out changed the hub and as he was about to say "job done" the hub fell offline for about 3-4 minutes and when it relocked on instead of my downstream channels being 1-8 they are now 9-16. He rang the networking guys at their head end whatever that is and at first they said nothing was happening but he then spoke to the head guy there and said yes over the past 2 weeks or so we have been changing and adding new hardware aswell as resegmenting the network. When he got off the phone he said that work was being done on the BSR and i asked what make it was out of Curiosity and he said Motorola.

BSR is a proprietary name for Motorola's CMTSs. VM also use Cisco UBRs (of various models), and Arris E6000s (often called "E6k"). But they all do the same job.

Looks like Liberty wants to do the same in its other European territories.

Fingers crossed they start to announce or even hint at the areas they are looking at... i have loads of people bugging me for updates lol

Especially when a few have CATV pits in their road from when they started the prep work in the 90s but never finished it
