Once all the upgrades are done, I can see Virgin offering to move the "new" 20meg customers over to 30 to get everyone on DOCSIS 3. That way each tier will be double the previous, 30 -> 60 -> 120. But that's entirely raw speculation on my part, based on the idea that it's probably cheaper to support one type of network and one type of modem.
do you think capacity will be added to handle this influx of users? given that most of VMs customers are on the bottom tier this will be a very significant demand added.
