It is certainly starting to look interesting... especially with what could happen to the lower tiers, they may be gradually switched to the docsis 3 network with just 50, 100, 200 and 400Mb/s packages.

I don't feel there will be a need for the 2, 10 and maybe 20Mb's tiers in say 5 years time. They can upgrade equipment as contracts end and the customer takes a new contract. IMO it makes sense and the "the customer may not need 'x' speed" argument may be valid right now but it wont be valid in say 5+ years.
