Well not playing ping pong with you if in a few years time it dosent happen,(no doubt you be scouring around for examples).Then please re-ignite the thread.

You have largely skirted around what I have said, choosing instead to talk about DOCSIS 3.1 overbuilds. I haven't in any way remarked on these beyond to point or that they don't help people with issues right now in any way, shape or form.
I haven't argued that overbuild and hub upgrades have been going on. I have explicitly mentioned both here and on VM's forum.
As far as the E6k goes these have been in for a while in many areas. The BSRs are an I-CMTS architecture and only capable of 12 downstreams. 'Upcoming' products VM want to install with 16 available, and I-CMTS are no good as VM are moving to a CCAP architecture.
The VoC project is behind a bit due to issues with Packetcable.
Writing in red doesn't change that without splitting nodes and adding extra channels all the work in the hubs does nothing to relieve congestion.
Go and tell someone who had been waiting over a year for a split that all this investment is being done.
The power and aircon upgrades had to be done as, without them, VM had Arris kit sitting there switched off. This isn't a good thing, someone missed that those were out of capacity and it put the E6k project a quarter and more behind.
No E6k, no capacity increases. Trouble is, these went in, took an she to get them turned up, then in some cases areas were migrated to them and still had no capacity as they were just that, migrated, with no node split.
Horseman has been moved to one but even with the advantage he had over others with test CPE he still sees congestion.
Right now I would far rather see splitting nodes twice and recombining them than the plant upgrades for D3.1 and higher channel count 3.0.
Ideally both at the same time while nodes are being swapped out and customers on downtime. 4 fibre in, 4 trunk out nodes are always cool.

TL;DR a cock up was made, VM haven't caught up but released uplifts anyway, VM try to exhaust all cheaper options before splitting nodes despite usage projections indicating that will be inadequate, and VM still have a very relaxed attitude towards customer speeds at peak times.
