IMO Chrysalis is perfectly right - VM need to concentrate more on alleviating oversubscription by whatever means works and I expect that will be traffic management rather capacity increases. "Adding fluff" and increasing XXL speeds to bring them closer into line value wise with XL and 100 is purely for marketing purposes.

Oversubscription has moved me from happy bunny to definitely a lost customer long term (when I can get Infinity) and quite probably a lost customer immediately to Be ADSL once I've looked at the costs involved - this following a supposed upgrade which still leaves my CMTS oversubscribed by my definition but not VMs.
