Nah just VM being slack about capacity planning and management. We can assume there hasn't been a sudden huge uptake of customers in those areas and that growth has been fairly steady, so it's VM being late with upgrades and/or not fixing the DOCSIS 3 overbulid up before it became an 'issue'.
Probably shovelled a load of customers onto the overlay network congesting some upstreams going by the abrupt drop OP reports in January.
Either way there are very few areas where there are acceptable 'issues' and a large amount of customers should be an incentive to stay on the ball with capacity planning, the issue would be if there were not that many customers with high bandwidth usage such as a student area where there are multiple people on each modem.
