The Southampton CMTS serve more than just the city itself and serve more than just the ex-Videotron nastiness that ntl upgraded in the 2000s and the analogue-only areas Virgin Media overbuilt parts of more recently.
Some parts of the network served by the Southampton CMTS have no more in common with others than those in Reading do, beyond that they end up in the same building. Different node sizes, hardware, etc.
There is no generic Southampton CMTS-everything capacity problem; same as everywhere else it's localised but VM can't release upgrades to the bits that are fine while holding back on those that aren't.
