I think it is something they made up because they want everyone on the shub. If they honestly believe the vmng300 cant do more than 92mbits (less than half it's rated throughout) then I would be asking some serious questions.
I expect it will have something to do with the VMNG300 inability to use more than 4 downstreams and I expect in 18 months time that will have been rolled out making the VMNG300 struggle on the network.

It may have been tested at higher speeds but probably only with 4 downstreams, we are not senior management so those decisions will have been made at a high level.

Even if you do I wouldn't expect it to be a chargeable visit
As with the 30Mb rollout the majority just got sent the Superhub.
