Totally wrong. Splitting a node is nothing at all to do with connecting to the internet backbone. You're aware of the 3 layers of a network, access, transport and core right? Internet access sits firmly at core, uBRs at access. No wires go between uBRs and the rest of the internet they go over gigabit ethernet to the transport network to end up on 10 gigabit links heading towards the internet.

Yawn all you want you're totally wrong. In this age of 10Gbit peerings if a 38Mbit/s downstream causes issues that's the least of a company's concerns. You've a fundamental lack of understanding of what a modern ISP network is about if you think that the largest cost of a network is connecting to the nearest internet backbone. The cost of uBR bandwidth is several factors higher than the few pounds per Mbit/s that VM will pay in transit.
