Re: Oversubscribed areas?

although it makes sense to use it as a temporary fix (especially for short term large scale network faults) I think part of the condition of being able to implement such a policy would have to be that they advertise affected areas on some sort of status page and I think it would be very embarrassing to see the numbers tbh. As always, it is a balancing act with VM and I am sure they would rather forgo the negative publicity associated with stm and over subscribed areas (even if it maintains an excellent quality of service) and reap the benefits of advertising unlimited fibre bb where everything is perfect (including the shub).
