There are dozens of CM config files, ie Terayon specific ones for copper (64k), Bronze (150k), Silver (600k), Gold (1024k) plus all the other manufacturers variants. Obviously there is an overhead in maintaining all the different files (recent port block seems to have done at cable modem level) but there is no technical reason to ditch 64k, its purely an economic business decision. Lose a few customers but gain more from the others - why can't ntl just be upfront about this?
