Indeed, why do you need a second service flow when you can just provision the existing service flow to have more bandwidth so the customer still gets their full connection? Why can't a customer on 152meg get provisioned for 180mbit and have the CPE limit to the 160ish that it is now, leaving a completely separate pool for the extra bandwidth?
