If it is the former, then making the products available to new and re-contracting existing customers will not be an issue, correct? Letting the non-contracting customers to phase in over time also makes sense so that any increase in network load can be reacted to in a progressive manner
I think it's a bit of both. They've definitely been doing work on the network as a whole, even after the speed doubling, but whether that's enough for the more congested areas remains to be seen.
