No-one is getting uplifted to 300Mb.
Look, if that were going to happen do you not think VM would just wait perhaps 3 months until everything were in place and then increase people to the final speeds in one hit?
It would make no sense on any level to hand out two upgrades, especially when the vast majority of the country can only get at most 76Mb elsewhere.

After that will be in 2017 with docsis 3.1 and 500mbits.

General, what do you think is going to happen this time next year?
I don't remember an upgrade being announced in 2014, though I may be mistaken. I think the cycle has been more like an upgrade every couple of years recently, with the original 100Mb tier being a separate tier rather than anything people were upgraded to for free.
The new kit is not a 16 channel modem, it's 24, software upgradeable to 32. It's being trialled right now - albeit not widely just yet
