Ironically that's what happened to comcast...till the customers found out and they were -forced- to cough up.

Too bad we cant do the same with VM.

It's like this 40G linkup fiasco, they was supposed to upgrade to 100G before neil came into play...now they are showing off about 40? that's nice..it isnt really gonna help the network when you have 50mbit coming into play. oh wait...yes it will because they refuse to provide any good type of upload.
There is no kit that VM haven't bought that enables Upstream Bonding.. The Cards for Upstream Bonding are not yet available from either Cisco or Motorola.. 2009/2010 as far as I am aware.
The only option in the meantime is more dense modulation schemes (QAM32 or QAM64) and you know how that would perform
