*Exactly* what I am saying .. the issues are localised and impact your network segment into the CMTS. Having said that it would be interesting to know what % of the network segments/cables/line cards/<what ever they are called> are affected by utilisation issues. Only VM know this .. customers can only report what affects them personally, how their the friends and family who use VM are getting on and finally what they are told when they talk to VM contacts.

I suspect that this % is a small one (at least I hope it is!) and we are just unlucky, not as unlucky as some but not as lucky as others ..

You can't make generalised statements like "we have upgraded the network in your area" or "we have released capacity" etc. and expect that to have a definitive effect on your service. What matters is how your network segment is affected. As Paul says, he is on a different network segment routing into a different CMTS and he is fine. What affects me does not affect him .. same Southampton headend.
