Heh. In my area it just can't be done without hardware replacement, this goes for some other areas, especially ex-Telewest ones where they were left to rot and pushed until they bled.
Some areas will handle them no problem, some will need some persuasion.
The advent of upstream bonding, which is coming soon, will help. Those on non-bonding compatible modems are going to need some work doing.
Either way there is no way in hell that the rollouts will be smooth, nor will they be fast. Patience is the way forward I'm afraid.
I would actually recommend a look at OneWayInternet -

I am in an old build network, and the upstream part is full up already so no room to even do what was done in Coventry, and even if they could it would probably overpower the optics and cause failure. All old build will need to be upgraded.
Other network it will be a very individual upgrade from area to area.
