As I said the interesting bit isn't what has happened, but when things will. To ensure 'total transparency' technical support need to be aware of stuff
before it happens.
I would imagine it will be very clear you are on a trial, you have a Samknows bit of kit getting 'perception' information, and you are on a non-standard tier. With the exception perhaps of the outsourced centre that probably struggle with logging into their thin clients in the morning it's very obvious you're on a trial

No.
Some areas will run the DOCSIS 2 channels ok, some will need a little work, some will need a lot.
Even bonding VM will still need to upgrade some areas to make enough space and add enough laser capacity to cope with the channels - they will be bonding DOCSIS 2 channels.
Note that there's only a single upstream channel on the overlay network per area right now, not a lot to bond. In a lot of Ex-Telewest areas with their comprehensive network upgrade programmes that space for that single upstream channel had to be taken from the old network...
