@ Gobble (great handle!)

Your question may be difficult to answer. My area was upgraded last Autumn for 120 meg with 8 down (I already had 2 up from the 100 meg service).

Earlier this year, the circuit glitch and lo, we had four upstreams on the line card (was three) from which I was provisioned with two, still at 16QAM.

As far as I know, the work being done now is of a resegmentation nature as well as the noise clean up ready for 64QAM. I don't expect an improvement on 10:1 and I'm not exactly sure how VM will use the extra upstream capacity bearing in mind that my area has no upstream congestion, only downstream congestion at peak times.
