I guess the upload doubling is on a slightly different schedule that's not been announced as everyone seems to be sitting on their old upload speed (or even slightly less in config, I'm getting 2.90Mb/s instead of 3.33Mb/s that I had on 30Mb!)
I feel VM need to think more about upload, their 10:1 ratio already seems pretty out of date when BT Infinity 80Mb/s users get 20Mb upload. I think it should be 10:3 giving an 18Mb upload on 60Mb and 36Mb on 120Mb. With upstream channel bonding 4 x 20Mb channels I don't see why that's not possible as it is a shared service as it is already. Then when VM release 240Mb (with 72Mb upload) or what ever they could introduce a Super Hub 2.0 with even more upstream bonding capability to cope.

Marketing runs VM and I assume they have determined its download speed which sells broadband.
Whether or not its easily possible for VM to add many more US channels in each are to do what you said I dont know, based on what ignition posted earlier in the year in regards to many untapped frequencies following the upstream work in areas, and what comcast do in the USA it would suggest what you said is possible with the channels although I think your proposed end user speeds would lead to probable congestion still. As it would give the top tier a whopping 30mbit of upload on a 72mbit capacity. Not quite as bad now tho with 10mbit upload on 18mbit capacity.
