The point I make is more serious than an amusing dig. Do VM actually take into account a loading profile when constructing all this? And what target for experience do they aim to achieve?
The YouTube stuff is a specific issue which isn't related to any speed upgrades. Tends to be either problems with private peering or connectivity to hosted CDN.

Any access network upgrades in terms of bandwidth will be largely irrelevant to the browsing experience. That's dependent more upon latency, loss, jitter and the construction of the websites.

If you watch a website load it's a ton of really small transactions. In the case of VM none of this will even register on the downstream shaper, so more about the transactions flowing smoothly rather than quickly.

The people doing the uplifts have as their only job to deliver capacity
