I thought that the point of most contention was the tiny local pipes (ie by node) serving a couple of hundred modems rather than the segment which I took to be a complete CMTS housing lord only knows how many line cards each of which was a local node and so serving a few thousand modems and fed by one or more gigabit fibres but it may well be that I've got it all wrong.

Whatever the naming conventions IMO VM have seriously screwed up by selling 100/10Mbps on shared 200/18Mbps pipes and it's that which is leading to the explosion in complaints on the community forum.
