Fair enough, will see for myself eventually, just the little I play of online gameplay Ive never noticed lag, guess if the ping was high enough I sure would though.

I see VM are apparently doubling speeds again so GIG1 will be GIG2 for same price I assume. Can't say it bothers me when anything not wireless can't seem to pull more than 666Mbit and my motherboard wouldn't pull more than 945Mbit if the router would let it have it.
Are you confusing the 2 Gbps rollout as posted last week?
Virgin Media UK Launch 2Gbps Broadband and Symmetric Speeds UPDATE2
Broadband ISP Virgin Media (VMO2) has this morning announced that they've become the first "major" UK internet provider to publicly launch a residential 2Gbp

Yeah utter tosh, we ain't gonna see those speeds for years if at all in most areas.
Soldato
Anyone getting terrible speeds on steam? Have 1gig connection, starts off well at tops speeds but drops to zero/few meg after 15 seconds.
Happens all the time now, having noticed it in the past week:
Speed tests seem fine.
Edit: possibly a SSD write speed issue. Hmm.

Think you've misunderstood, Gig2 isn't a free upgrade mate.
It's Virgin's new 'top tier' plan for £84pm (+£6pm for symmetrical upload!) - and it's only available in nexfibre areas on XGS-PON, so very limited reach currently.

Only if you're on their XGS-PON network i.e. fibre straight into a HUB5x

I received a VM pod, which is supposed to act like a mesh but I think it's more of a WiFi extender. Working well though, I have the pod next to my PC and plugged in via ethernet it's getting ~400mb download speeds and my S21 Ultra gets ~300mb via WiFi next to the pod.

Has anyone had the Hub 5 randomly start rebooting itself? Seems to be doing it around 2am. Just has “Cable Modem Reboot because of - unknown” in the log. Doesn’t appear to be any firmware updates. Works fine otherwise.

Can I give cancellation notice to VM greater than 1 month before contract end date?
Soldato
Probably not, you are contracted to x date and then you give 30 days notice after that date.
Soldato
Ah so Ive misunderstood maybe, I was planning to give over 30 days notice that I will cancel my service on the contract end date.
Soldato
I don't think you can cancel on the date of when your contract ends, you need to give notice on that date so you are stuck for 19 months or 25 months depending on contract term.

2Gbps Virgin Media UK Broadband Plan Now Available to Order
New and existing customers of residential broadband ISP Virgin Media (VMO2), at least those covered by their new nexfibre based Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) net
www.ispreview.co.uk
Gig2 now available to order if you're on their new network.
Depends on how much contract you have left. Mine ended March 1st this year, however I gave 30 days notice back in January and it actually ended 14th Feb a few days ago, they took the last payment on 12th Feb, if you have quite a while to go on your contract they can charge you for all the months remaining.
Soldato
I end 22nd March so Im going to try and give notice 22nd Feb.
Soldato
Yes. I gave VM notice 2 weeks ago, contract ends 26th March.
They originally tried doing it 30 days from when I spoke to them, charging me for the last month. I asked them to end it for when my contract ends and they have.
Only the port connected to your own router will work, none will work for LAN. Yes you’d need a cable router.
