Thanks for the negative rep, ceedee, very grown up of you.
[I have a policy of publicising negative rep, incidentally]
TraxData - you were wrong about the first platform to deploy the new CMTS, recently:

Dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but 50mbit upgrade/rollout started earlier this week, some area's are now enabled ready for it (and configs are sitting nicely on the servers)...EX CW area's only right now!

ex-C&W = Bromley = the last of the three platforms to see any action on this, the first two deployed were Langley and Knowsley in that order (I'm sure you know the locations, so I won't post them).
A lot of what you post is obviously well informed, however. I'm just a bit wary of people taking everything you say as gospel (particularly when I have to self-censor on the same subjects due to reasonably privileged information, and thus can't always go 'hang on a minute, it's really xyz').
Also, you need to define 'enabled' better in posts like that, since to my mind '50Mb enabled' means:
* new CMTS installed and cutover,
* new CPE tested and certified for BAU,
* diagnostic tools ready,
* training complete for call centres and engineers,
* DHCP configs complete and
* billing/provisioning system updated so we can actually sell and install it
Miss out one of those and it's not 'enabled', to my mind. To a customer all that condenses down to 'can I buy it?', of course, which is the true test of all this. What did you mean by 'enabled', incidentally?
On the STM question, googling for 'subscriber traffic management' gets nearly twice as many hits as 'system traffic management', and the latter phrase doesn't seem to have much to do with cable. A lot of the hits for 'subscriber' refer directly to Virgin's implementation or Cisco's technology that lies behind it. Most of the hits for 'system' seem to refer to road traffic management schemes.
