DOCSIS 3 can handle the speeds but as Trax has said the rest of the network cant. If anyone thinks VM will invest in the rest of the network then they are wrong. The same over-subscribed area's will continue to suffer the same plight as at some point down the line the DOCSIS 2 and DOCSIS 3 traffic will merge and the same problem will rear its ugly head. VM need to spend millions sorting out thier aging backhaul and national network and i cant see why they would go ahead with it when its much easier to blame the downloaders and STM the hell out of thier products. I did at one time beleive 50meg would come without STM but its looking more and more likely that VM will ruin another potentially great product.
