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. |
how will you know its enough, based on what?
its not based on the 100mbit data.
what happens if the node is too large.
simply put its enough as long as either noone actually signs up for 200mbit or if they do sign up they dont do any sort of sustained downloading at the same time as high utilisation periods.
Your info of whats going on is appreciated however your extra comments seem very out of touch with reality.

given that upstream is already stretched in significant numbers of areas, how are you confident simply bonding existing highly utilised channels will handle 20mbit upload speeds?
its logical to assume double burst needs double capacity.
