BTW the US comcast have just announced the first deployment of their 50Mbit down/
5Mbit up Docsis 2.0b/3.0 service.
its not known what End User kit was used as yet and i cant be bothered to go find the trialists/end users threads.
yes they used mbit not Mbit, and say
upto 160mbps download, and upstream speeds of
up to 120mbps for docsis3.0, im about to post there asking them to correct it.
thats the Minimum Spec for Docsis 2.0b/3.0 using the basic 4 bonded channels in case you didnt know, the full spec can use upto 125 bonded channels (
5Gb/s download/ 3.75Gb/s upload) max total, if some vendors decide to make the units in the future.

Comcast Corp. has announced its first deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 technology, in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn., which it claims enables it to offer residential and business customers downstream Internet access speeds of up to 50mbps and upstream speeds of up to 5mbps — its fastest access offering. "
"In a separate but related development,
Time Warner Cable is expected to begin deploying DOCSIS 3.0 later this month, according to a report released today by
New Paradigm Resources Group."
"“This announcement marks the beginning of the evolution from broadband to wideband,” said Mitch Bowling, senior vice president and general manager of Comcast High-Speed Internet, Comcast Cable, in prepared comments. “Wideband is the future and it’s coming fast. We believe wideband will usher in a new era of speed and Internet innovation for today’s digital consumers.”
...
For current high-speed Internet access resident
customers, as a result of the deployment, Comcast will nearly triple
the upload speed of its 6mbps/384kbps Performance tier to 6mbps/
1mbps and more than double the upload speed of its 8mbps/768kbps Performance Plus tier to 8mbps/
2mbps, at no additional charge.

perhaps VM might also consider upgrading their current users Upload speeds as well, when the so called PR wideband 50Mbit is nearing rollout here?.
