all areas will be moving to 8 channels, the earlier areas getting 5 at first

I think you have the wrong idea graham about how bandwidth is 'split' between the channels, im fairly sure when channels are bonded, they become "as one" - I could be wrong though, thats how i understood it

I think the 5th channel is for 100mbit capacity, where as 8 channels is preparation for 200mbit
