johnr: We also have planned work upgrading the HFC network going on right now this is due to completed first half of November

Ive heard that, sounds awesome :) Are you allowed to say what kind of improvements we should see

And what I would like to know has traffic management actually been used? Or is it just there for legal reasons, just in case it has to be used. Big Pipe has in their terms that they may do it (or something like that) but on here they've said their lawyers made them do it and they probably wont ever, but is that the same for vodafone or has it actually been happening

Support faster speed down link 200Mbp/s and much better capacity peak time,

I hope thats the case.

Considering they are finding ways to get 10gbps over DSL im sure the future for cable is pretty awesome, although fibre will be in more places by then

10gb/s over 1 nano meter. ;)
Cable can already push something like 1.3 gig

I did a test 4gb file from a popular torrent during peak last night and i was impressed to see 13.5mb/s dropped to 12mb/s at times but very consistent. I'm on unlimited.

I'm pretty sure 99.99% of people would rather have more speed stability than faster speeds. 100Mbps is plenty fast.

Same with 70Mb.s that they get at peak times.
I know Americans that would kill thier family for those speeds at peak.

IIRC 952mbps over 16 metres - the basic idea is you chuck a box of goodies at the front of the house with a fibre feed then reuse the existing copper cabling. The basic idea is to avoid having to put a fibre connection into the property which can be expensive.
