You were the one who explained to me that's what Pierre was trying to say...

I can only go off the documentation I have seen, I'm not in the Access dept so not close to it.
But from what I have seen last year, DOCSIS 3.1 deployment is scheduled to start in Q2 next year, with a further upgrade planned in Q3 2017. The network is planned to be 600Mb ready by end 2016/2017.
There's a whole host of other stuff to be looked at as well CCAP, EPoC running DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 together and other stuff that is outside of my area of expertise
OF course 10Gb is not going to be offered, why would it. It's theoretical. The main thrust of the article is that VM is moving to Docisis 3.1. and from what I've seen it will be well before 2020 - I don't know where you get that from.

No, quite the opposite. The fact that it will be restricted to the current spectrum until major network upgrades are done means it will
not offer a huge change in available ratios.
