100Mb should be called BB100 and 200Mb when released should be BB200

They should quit with all the X's it does get confusing!

10Mb could be Scrapped IMO (at least to new customers after 100Mb is out)... VM will have too many tiers when 200Mb comes out in a few years. 20Mb could then be BB20 and 50Mb BB50

There comes a point when VM will have far too many packages and it becomes really confusing for the less tech savvy.

They could also stop selling the Docsis 1/1.1 packages to new customers after a certain date (mid 2014 maybe) to gradually move new customers onto the Docsis 3 network. It would then be up to customers on the older modems/network to upgrade within, say 8 years before Docsis 1/1.1 could then be deprecated from the network.

Probably sounds stupid.
