(Probably showing my ignorance here...)

Assuming both ends of the connection had 3.1 kit, how much of the current network could do 32x8,and would VM deploy that many?

How much further could VM go with the existing 3.0 kit?

In terms of capacity, would it be more cost effective to sweat the current assets to the limit or bite the bullet and upgrade to 3.1 as soon as possible to future proof things (not necessarily upping speeds, though we all know what would happen if the PR Dept got a sniff of say 500Mbps)

Cheers
