I do so love giving you guys these gems, especially when they relate to upgrades of 100Mb, when I don't even have 5Mb upstream available to me yet
The network will be in a position to support 200Mb services once upstream bonding is enabled. All areas on 4 downstreams will have sufficient downstreams available, subject to licencing, to go to 8 downstreams. This is enough to adequately support 200Mb so long as nodes aren't too large. The additional downstreams are supplied through a combination of new line cards and rearrangement of EQAMs.
