VM's backbone is ok, it's more local areas which tended to have issues and they let them run hot for way too many years when they should have been upgraded. Seems VM always do just enough. If investment means they do more than needed due to a bit of future planning, then that is an improvement.

As said before, most customers don't need more than 10-20Mb at this moment in time, so customers who go faster are either the ones who must have the latest and greatest stuff or fooled in to thinking they need it by advertising. Gradually more speed will be needed but there is no real need for faster by the average user.
