Years ago capacity on the VM network was an issue but that was before DOCSIS 3 and the major upgrades we've seen since, including the move to Mpeg 4 compression.
There are also some local 'capacity' issues where a street cabinet is oversubscribed.
If Spiderplant says there's no capacity constraint, there's no capacity constraint - he knows his stuff.
I don't think a 'Frequency Plan' would reveal much to us laymen.
I agree. I think Richard is right to say that the existing set-up has limited space available, but he goes a little too far in claiming or hinting that this is a major problem for Virgin Media.

I don't think it is, and as spiderplant has said more than once now, if VM need more space, they will simply create it.

Is that really you saying that. Mr K? Stones and glass houses are words that come to mind!

I have not deliberately provoked anyone on the forums, but I have challenged some of the things they say where I do not agree with their comments. I, too, am frequently challenged, but being a discussion forum, isn't that what it is all about?
