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 ;(.
