Virgin Media 100Mb Service
- Thread starter Dangerous
- Start date
The VM 50Mb modems, can support speeds up and over 250Mb, they just dont stop at 50Mb...They were built for the faster networks.
There are some Trads about...
I just rang them again and the lady says that downloading 200GIG in a 30 day period is to much
That is a lot of "Linux ISOs" you download there
Because you have from 12am to 5pm to torrent full speeds?
I don't use any torrent program.

Well I am watching a lot of USA sports in HD most nights and Hulu in HD(via proxy) and the odd nzb.
I will be watching my downloads from now on.

I wish they would release a rollout schedule, so I could know rougly when these upgrades are coming to me.
usenet is only place which you can download full speed of 100mb
grabit - full auto download and par/unrar, write to 4.7GB DVD, all of that in 20 mins, i do this while cooking dinner. watch DVD while eat dinner is good
so i dont think i'll upgrade to 100mb, not needed

That'll be why the 100Mb network requires a new modem then
.What do you mean by this? That's utter BS.
It is although as another user posted the current modems should be able to support higher speed I don't know if they would have overheating problems or not but I would say they could handle 100 no problem. The supplied dir 615 on the other hand does not have gigabit ethernet so your max speed would always be under 100mbit/s. I'm also 99.99% sure that the new modem/routers can have the router functionality disabled and from what I have heard about the docsis 2 hubs you will be wanting to use your own router.
Just to clear something up if you have the current 50Mbit modem (the black curvy one) then it supports speed way in excess of 100Mbit/s and the ethernet interface on it supports Gigabit.
I would imagine that forcing you to upgrade to a new integraded modem/router would be expensive for them and would surely put a lot of people off given the cost to the end user. I know that the majority of current routers out there sadly do not support Gigabit on the WAN port unless it's pretty damn new or pretty high end.

VM300 Cable Modem 12.01 Firmware Update on 29-09-2010 20:42
We've just released the new 12.01 firmware update for VM300 Cable Modems across our network.
The new firmware was tested over the past 8 weeks with 2000 customers including volunteers from this forum and we've seen no significant issues in testing.
The new firmware enables 100Mbps throughput for our forthcoming 100Mbps service and is also designed to improve upstream stability and throughput. It also turns back on the TDOX feature that was switched off in July with the 10.12 firmware, due to a bug affecting performance.
If you'd like to upgrade now you can load the new firmware by turning your modem on and off.
Please post any feedback you have about the new firmware in this thread.
Thanks
Anyone who DOES NOT have the 50Mb at the moment WILL need the SuperHub.
But if you have the 50Mb link already, your 50MB VM300 modem will be able to cope with the 100Mb link.
Wish people would Google things before posting the wrong info...

If you do a lot of uploading between 9am and 9pm you get a nasty letter from Virgin.
I should know

Seriously they actually send letters?!

I cap my torrent upload during the day as my home server is on 24/7, no letters in the ~2 months it's been running so far. My problem is offsite backups, uploading just takes too long and I'd like more security than just sticking the data on dvd's/externals.
