People are reading far too much into this.

BT announced their first exchanges so VM got the PR machine running and the bandwidth wanger out. It means absolutely nothing until some kind of trials and tests of this product are done.

At the moment most DOCSIS 3 areas aren't even running with all 4 downstreams, it's a while away so no need to get excited just yet.

As always, VM keep a little ahead of BT, just a bit, usually only on the downstream, and publicise it hard so everyone knows.
