Cable Forum - View Single Post - 125M News: VM Possible Future 200mbps or Higher

I have just been told by a friend in the USA that he has just registered for a comcast cable trial of 300Mb down, 65Mb up!

Now, it would appear comcast has been throwing a lot of weight into their network recently, and even with their further constricted bandwidth on normal docsis versus EU docsis that we use here they are still able to give quite large upload speeds. it strikes me as a little off that VM's upload is currently so dire and even with the recent and coming upgrades it is still unlikely to even get anywhere near what comcast is able to offer in the US, there's just no way VM would offer these kinds of upload speeds even with two bonded upstream channels which is what it seems we will be getting if what I have seen is correct.

Maybe there is more to VM's network upgrades and upstream bonding that has gone untold and they are planning something else within the next two years alongside a 200 and maybe 400Mb rollout.
