Thanks for that.

I presume thats the cable equiv of an exchange then?.

So its a combination of contention (Which we'll never be told) and downloaders (This is the easy way out for VM).

Anybody on a lower level of cable service upgrading to a higher level will:

1. Make the service worse in effect
2. Not improve their own speed issues

50Mb service will presumably involve the upgrading of UBR's.

thanks
