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

I should know

And then they send you a warning e-mail

And then you ring them up.

And then they say stop uploading so much between 9am and 9pm or we'll cut you off

And then you say how much can I upload between 9am and 9pm.

And then they say we don't know, try dropping it to 50% or 25% :confused:

And then you think what I am I paying all this money for? :mad:

Best not to treat it like a leased line.

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.

nearlly a year later and they are now sorting this out

This is true, it was enabled in the new firmware I believe. Reset your router and it should update automatically.
