There has never been a speed upgrade that I can remember where everyone on the same tier got it at exactly the same time - there has always been a rollout schedule. Even if there is the capacity, it makes sense to spread out any customer service or technical calls, kit changes, and potential unplanned issues across a period of time.

The last upgrade and this 2014 one are the only two times where all tiers are getting a speed increase at the same time. However this one is due to finish in a shorter time-scale than the last one, so I would say yes, there was some groundwork laid for the 2014 upgrades.

We've just waited a year for a TV Anywhere Android app, only to be presented with something that is nothing of the kind, it turns out to be a 'TiVo control app' which is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard to those of us who have no need or desire of a TiVo.
I'm not sure why you were suprised about what it is - the iOS app has been around for a while now, and it's exactly the same.
