My upload has always been fine too darth but the ubr's couldnt handle the upgrade and the increase in upstream (200% on tw network) led to all the congestion problems that people had/are having, vm had the technology in place and hit the switch but didnt realise that people use there upstream a lot more than what they thought and many new vm users jumping on the torrent bandwagon still keeping upload speed maxed out crippiling the network.
Vm applied a quick fix bandaid through stm to keep the pressure off the ubr's but in many places untill they get more ubr's upgraded problems will remain.

Lets just hope vm decides to splash the cash this coming april with the new tax year and spend less on advertising and more on providing the great service we used to have.

The upgrade to docsis 3 is a good thing pity it just the 50mb users that are getting it ;(.
