Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)

Nah it's nowhere near that heavy to be honest. Customers don't start using twice as much data because they have twice the headline speed. They tend to do the same things more quickly for the most part.

The sizing of the network is to ensure that bursts of activity can't overwhelm nodes rather than build them for sustained usage by a bunch of customers.

The entire VM network isn't pushing 'several' terabits so it's not quite at that scale. Individual groups of CMTS even at major hubsites aren't pushing multiple terabits. Some of the very largest may be tickling a terabit in total capacity but certainly not multiples of them.
