Perish the thought, without being able to bond crappy upstreams together to give the appearance of tons of capacity VM may actually have to clean the networks up properly nationwide and segment down the enormous DOCSIS 3 bonded groups.
Anyone who wants some work now might be a good time to learn cable, they could need quite a few contractors to help with this  |
perhaps the 113 sales people and 35 support staff at the firm's call centre in Colwick, Nottingham can get on a VM porta cabin training program so they dont loose their VM discounts and jobs, or perhaps even the 2000+ already announced VM job cuts to take place over the next four years,

OT but interesting,
hmm, if only VM could/would put that last bit of fibre in from the fibre enabled street cabs to the other cabs and on to your house ,this might be a useful addition as a starting point to some areas perhaps.

Alloptic Delivers Industry’s First DOCSIS Enabled PON
NCTA's The Cable Show 2009
LIVERMORE, Calif.--(
BUSINESS WIRE)--Alloptic, a global leader in the development of RF over glass (RFoG) and passive optical networking (PON) solutions for CATV, telecom, and private network operators worldwide, today announced the availability of its DPC™ software, Alloptic’s DOCSIS PON Controller, which enables DOCSIS provisioning and control of its EPON system. DPC facilitates the acceleration of PON rollouts by MSOs and others using DOCSIS for service delivery.
With DPC, network operators realize the benefits of PON, while continuing to use DOCSIS flow-through provisioning and control. DPC acts as a proxy between back office systems and Alloptic GEPON system. In effect, the PON OLT appears to be a cable modem termination system (CMTS), and the PON ONU takes the place of the cable modem, resulting in PON performance from a DOCSIS-controlled network. ....."
