The difference is that congestion on Infinity will be slow to build so capacity planning should be easy because it's 1:1 back to the cab then at least a 1Gb pipe. With VM a single user can tip a local area from acceptable to dire because of the small pipes. 8 bonded downstreams will help for sure but there will probably still be oversubscribed areas.

[sparks flamewar about BT vs VM's capacity management]
In any case, I would postulate upstream on BT will always be infinitely (pardon the pun) better than VM's, due to the far lower contention - and as you say, symmetric backhaul - to the exchange. Hence how ~6mbps DSL still beats VM's 50mb cable almost by an order of magnitude when it comes to upstream stability.
