50mb will utilize DOCSIS 3. DOCSIS 3 is used by no other ISP in the UK -- now you'll understand why VM boast so much... they've only got BT to compete with, that said... BT will deliver it differently... *dances*

50mb will of course require the customer in question to have a DOCSIS 3 supported modem. Existing modems just won't support it, the methods are different to the way in which DOCSIS 1/2 operates.

In terms of bandwidth limitations, you'll definitely see an improved difference IMO.

That's all i've got on the matter.
