I won't happen you can only have one SACM per user, buy a router, some of which allow you to conrol bandwidth.

yeah sure, i know about routers ,3rd party firmwares and things personal bandwidth managment etc, but at the end of the day, its far easyer (or at least should be)to get a seperate broadband connection and conect to these as totally seperate/independent network connections and not need to thing about the kids killing your connection because a setting in the hardware or software was set wrong.
there are lots of possabilitys for the tech users to take advantage of several seperate home conections when they want too, but thats beyond this thread.
why is it that the users cant have more than one SACM though?, you can have i think its upto 3 STB's installed and the billing system is geared for that AFAIK, so why cant the included internal CM be also used for extra web connections at a good price, after all it benefits VM as they dont need to install yet another bit of kit.
this area at least (south manchester,exC&W) have and are using the inbuilt CM of the stb's for broadband connection although its been said the TW areas dont allow this option......
if as i and many others already have ntl250 CM's and a seperate STB with unused but perfectly capable CM (several mates use that as their CM connection right now) , so no need to install anything new so no cost there, mearly offer the option of discounted 2nd/3rd seperatly billed CM connections and everyones happy, surely?.
as a side note and to give some industry thoughts about how the higher BB might be used and they too bring up the managment of the connection.
