It will be interesting to see what happens with 50 meg, now that (as predicted) it's become something of an EPIC FAIL. Not only does it fail to deliver the promised speeds to paying customers, but it's given a free speed boost to all the cloners.
Actually, it looks like VM's plan was to release an update to kill all the cloned modems to make way for 50 meg, but a fix already exists. Apparently VM never learn.

My 50Mb speeds are great 45Mb+ actually.
I agree on the cloners part, I am not defending VM but for VM to upgrade the network for everyone to have a unlimited service and still get full speed all the time it would be impossible as there isn't a pipe fat enough yet and there backbone would need to be a backbone of the future as the current ones that are avaliable dont have enough bandwidth.
People who just say VM should upgrade the network don't understand how the network works, whilst if VM was to split the nodes and make sure the areas are upgraded for the amount customer connected they could lacks the STM limit as the limits are way to restictive.
