So finally you agree with me, these new boxes are going to kill the bandwidth for everyone else.

I seem to recall me being slapped down earlier as being ridiculous because the V6 takes all of it's data feed from the coax and the ip connection was purely for command and control.

Oh dear...2 million V6's x 100 mbps = 2x10^14 bits per second. Yes, I know they aren't all on my segment but they are all going back to the core at some point.
