"for current high-speed Internet access resident customers, as a result of the deployment, Comcast will nearly triple the upload speed of its 6mbps/384kbps Performance tier to 6Mbps/1Mbps and more than double the upload speed of its 8Mbps/768Kbps Performance Plus tier to 8Mbps/2Mbps, at no additional charge.

BTW cablelabs just did six cable modems, for the new spec, following Wave 58

but thats not quite right, as there was at least one CPE that got full 3.0 cert already on wave 56 i think it was...
That article is a little wrong, the upload is now 2.5mbit for the 8mbit and 16mbit tiers on comcast...they also now offer a 20mbit/5mbit connection.

Your correct though, you'd think VM would learn, but then..this is VM we're talking about..and it all came down to "like we are gonna pay to upgrade the kit to support high upload speeds" "rather give myself a fat bonus" situation.
