Virgin Media Broadband 20MB

Most trialists will be permanent now, it saves messing to revert them back to the old configuration. This doesn't mean everyone will be. Also my main point was that you kept stating that the upgrades would start from today onwards, which isn't true. You where a trialist and in some ways are, but they aren't going to change you back this close to the upgrade.

I'm not flaming, just saying.

Edit: Sorry I should say support kept telling you about the early upgrades, but most of the time they aren't privy to this information.

Maybe they're just starting the upgrade with the triallists.

Configs will be issued region by region in the same way they always have at every other upgrade, this used to start with Scotland and North East (SANE) for TW then move south but this changed some time ago pre merger. You'll find each old franchise area will have a different date on the letter as a result.

Last time there was a section on their site detailing how the upgrades were progressing, is there one this time?

used to be blueyonder.co.uk/evenfaster but with the VM shell being put over the blueyonder/NTL back end it's not showing up as far as I can tell.

Oh yeah, you're right. It's a co-axial cable when it's run into the house.

Can't coaxial cable support well above 100Mbps anyway though?

Ethernet over co-ax is commercially used to the home for speeds of over 200Mbps and has been demonstrated to much higher. No problems for a while

I can only see the 10mb going to 20.Where does it say the 4mb is going to 10?

 

[ubern00b]

They're not the most reliable, but it's not that they go down a lot, it's just the routing too and from Sweden is fairly bad

off topic completely, but its more ISP shaping than bad routing. route traffic through port 444 or 666 and watch those speeds increase (this applies to BBB hosts specifically)

 

[tomanders91]

is 4mb really going to 10? would be great.

I can only see the 10mb going to 20.Where does it say the 4mb is going to 10?

according to someone at Virgin customer/tech support a couple of days ago, the 2mb and 4mb packages aren't increasing in speed. There will only be 2mb, 4mb & 20mb, although they mentioned something about wanting to add a 4th package @ 10mb to fill the gap.

Of course, they maybe didn't have a clue like most of their staff (one of which hadn't even heard of the 20mb increase), so I'd take that info with the usual pinch of salt.

Im on the 4mb now and am downloading at 1MB/s constantly, its great no letters to let me know this though, thought it was just an error that they had made, wasnt going to complain though

[Hyper]

Where do you live?

Because where going to hunt you down and snip your internet cable

Nah man only joking, I wouldnt do a think like that

Nice speeds for a 4mb package !

 

[Baddass]

i;m planning to change my BB package to 4Mb if the 10Mb increase is likely...any further news from anyone?

 

[kingo15]

since when can you get 1mb/s off a 4mb line

 

[Phemo]

since when can you get 1mb/s off a 4mb line

Since Virgin put some of the 4mbit users on a 10mbit trial. So that means it's a 10mbit line and is just paying for 4mbit
