We can all see what VM are doing. They are having to play the big willy game with BT whilst at the same lamely trying to throttle back demand because area capacity upgrades aren't yet complete.

I'm not privy to the detail on those upgrades (I'm referring here to downstream). Any DOCSIS 3 bonded channel segment can be configured for 152 meg; it's just a question then of congestion. So my guess is that the upgrades required in most cases are in the form of a simple resegmentation involving more line cards and possibly CMTs.

So all yous getting early upgrades to 152/12 may expect growing congestion until your area has been resegmented.
