It may well be. I know Ignitionet said something about the CMTS port becoming unstable if it had to handle over 250 modems. Even at 100 I'm amazed it can ever work but I know that when I had 50Mbps I normally got that and it's only recently everything went to rat's - just after the area got the 100Mbps upgrade which may or may not be a coincidence.

I think that VM banked on selling 100Mbps to folks for willy waving rights rather than the only thing that makes it more useful than 10Mbps - bulk downloads. Sadly those buying it quite rightly expect to be able to use it and do and there simply isn't the capacity at the local level to support it.
