Only the network capacity planners, however, are qualified to determine how the performance of the UBR will be affected.
You are pessimist that this change will be bad for you. I am optimistic and do not see it making any real difference.

Hi Ernie,
That's cool, no apology needed !
Yes, I guess I am pessimistic where VM are concerned, this is purely based on the fact that my UBR has been oversubscribed for nearly two years. 2nd line, the CEO's office and planning appear to have no clue if and when it will be upgraded (kind of ironic for a planning department to not have a plan !)
I was getting pretty excited about the 50Mb rollout, not for the chance to upgrade, but for the 20Mb users to be moved and so the load on my UBR being brought down to a level where I can hit 10Mb when I need it.
Unfortunately I have a sneaky feeling that moving the 2 guys to 10 will negate any benefits brought from moving the 20 guys....
