That's a big "if". Even assuming they do upgrade the network, they seem to have no qualms about getting as many people as possible on it, which would reduce the speeds to pre-upgrade speeds (or below).

As someone once said in their sig on this forum a properly maintained cable network can provide the best broadband. Trouble is, they do need to do that (and VM are actively upgrading the network) and they need to avoid overselling capacity (sadly, there is some evidence that VM are overselling capacity in some areas).
