Yes, but it's not
forcing people to change. The higher speeds are advertised before people choose to change as coming the with SuperHub. The SuperHub is advertised as being an all in one device, therefore should factor into the choice that a customer makes as to whether they want to upgrade to or not
However what has been happening is that people are upgrading to products that are advertised as coming with the SuperHub and then complaining that they got a SuperHub.

I saw some line stats in a thread on the official Virgin Media forum, within the 100Mbit section I think, that seemed to indicate that in some areas VM are using 5 bonded channels to deliver DOCSIS 3 broadband via the Superhub now instead of the usual 4 bonded channels. Is this definitely the case?
