Hi all, i upgraded from 10mb to 30mb last year and it was very unstable speed was up and down and at times as low as 1mb so i went back on to 10mb and its been fine again since. However i would like a bit more speed for streaming video.

So to help me decide what to do for the best i have a few questions!

Is the legacy network the same as Docsis 1 and are all the people on 20mb or less on this network or are some of them on Docsis 3?

Is there a Docsis 2?

Ive seen it said that there are a lot less subscribers on Doscis 1, so does this make it more reliable?
Ifso is it right to say that Docsis 1 is basically an empty motorway that you can travel along at 10mb with no hold ups and 30mb+ is a congested motorway with hold ups stopping you from maintaining your max speed?

Is it down to over subscription or is it the superhub thats to blame?

Do you those of you that upgraded regret it?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
