Ratios are meaningless since they take no account of customers
changing activity patterns. The answer for the number of modems must
always be 'sufficient' and that is our intention. 

Currently both the Green and Purple ROMPs have well over 1,000 lines
free at the busiest time. Red has 'sufficient'. As the Cable & Wireless
and COLT ROMPs are closing soon, we would advise any customers having
difficulty accessing those ROMPs to change to either Green or Purple.
