The main problem is VM ingored the DOCSIS 2.0 platform, if they had moved to DOCSIS 2.0 the upstreams would have been upgraded to compily with the standard, DOCSIS 3.0 has not give them the option to use bonded channels (which should be for future upgrades) afaik VM are using different frequencies to enable the upload speed upgrade.

@ Chrysalis, VM will not underesitmate the requipments, they have been doing trials for months to understand the load, due to VM using real customers they have a good idea of the demand, so the upgrades should be fine when done, VM will stagger the uplift to ensure demand is met.
