Now what is a resegmentation? I have an idea that someone shuffles a load of PCB's about with regard to their respective sockets in order to better balance the load on the UBR.

Perhaps someone who actually knows would step us through the procedure.


Some UBR's have been upgraded to QAM256 to make more efficient use of existing infrastructure while others remain on QAM64. Should be transparent to the end user.
You are sort of on the right track... Example, where I live the nearest UBR is (I think I am not aloud to state the location) it is not that far away from my location. If you lived in Cwmbran and they put in on Newport West instead of on the Cwmbran UBR you connection would be very poor indeed.
