In what way does this prevent splitting of nodes or force VM to try using extra downstream channels in lieu of splitting nodes, though?

As for congestion i think there are many legacy factors,(and cash at present) holding this up, there are lots of reasons why they do not happen or are cancelled.

I thought there was massive investment going on?
I see on the forums another case of congestion going on for a year. 6 months to add new channels and, surprise surprise, having taken that long to do it it not being adequate so, apparently reluctantly, going on to splitting the node.
So it seems from what you've said that it's not about VM not having the money, more about them not being bothered enough about congestion on their network to prioritise resources towards relieving it.
Good to know.

All 3.1 CPE can use 3.0 channels in addition to 3.1 channels. They contain both 3.0 and 3.1 modem chipsets.
3.0 CPE cannot use 3.1 channels for obvious reasons.
