Extremely likely that there will be both unlimited and usage based / bitcapped billing options.

If it weren't for backwards arsed "established" vendors that keep sticking their heads in the sand in the name of "revenue protection" we'd all be on SDRs by now.

The CCAP architecture is pretty SDN heavy.

That CCAP is an SDN-oriented tech or that VM will be selling capped and uncapped varieties?
As of right now neither is a rumour, though obviously the second one is subject to change

The capped services. Why would you say they aren't rumours? Have Virgin announced them?

300Mbit with a 10GB cap anyone? (Yes that would be silly, but no stupider than some of the 4G based mobile data plans that are out there)
I doubt they'd actually be that stupid, at least I hope not.

I'd even say that's less stupid than some of the 4G caps out there.

Meanwhile in Hong Kong a couple of months back.

Hong Kong full-service telco HKT, part of the PCCW group, has announced that it is introducing a pilot 10Gbps fibre broadband service for residential and enterprise customers, with a commercial launch planned for the third quarter of year.

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
The population density thing has been done to death. It explains the suburbs, of course, London is a hugely spread out amalgamation of towns after all not a 'purpose built' city, but not MDUs in the centre of town and especially not new-builds that are getting copper.
Zero reason for any estate to not at least have FTTLA now, and thankfully builders seem to have gotten the message for the most part as increasingly MDUs are getting Hyperoptic FTTB, and MDUs and residential properties being built with VM FTTLA and Openreach or AN Other FTTP.

Indeed. The practicality of it is debatable given a 10Gb NIC is £300, a 10Gb switch £6-700.

Chicken and egg again. If we don't have products to drive uptake of consumer grade 10Gb equipment we won't have any manufacturers mass-producing economical consumer-grade 10Gb equipment.
I ought to also point out the benefit of 10Gb internet is solely in multi-user scenarios right now, given virtually no single desktop will be able to consume that amount of bandwidth; you'd need something on the order of ten hard drives or four SSDs in RAID to sustain 10Gb levels of throughput. And if you can afford a £500+ storage setup to download at that speed you can afford a 10GbE NIC.
And you forget multi-GbE switches with 10Gb uplinks and/or GbE link aggregation are half that price, not to mention second-hand 10GbE NICs ranging from £50 to £150.

The whole London thing has been done to death.
Nomatter how you twist it, it's cheaper and thus more economically feasible to cover an area considerably smaller than London with FTTH than it is to cover an area the size of Scotland and Northern Ireland combined.
That's the point I was getting at
