thanks for the reply, but whats this ongoing resegmentation? seems theoretical
I read on the VM forums that reseg's arent always upgrades but sometimes are just moving users around between existing line cards?
so 300 10mbit users on 38mbit? is about 19:1 contention right? if assume 1 in 5 users is a 20mbit customer it then becomes a bit higher tho around 24:1. That contention ratio seems reasonable but it is a very small fragile amount of shared bandwidth, evident by the downstream congestion on the legacy network.
Also you missing various areas under LE3, eg. I dont live in any of those areas. But thanks for making the effort to get the population count of the ones you found, I will do a bit more checking into it.
