Yeah this is the reason I'm not too fussed about not getting the upgrade yet.
That being said, I've been out of contract for a while now, so should probably re-negotiate a new deal.

I get 100mb, but a free upgrade would have been nice.

My account says the 'free' upgrade is between Nov - Apr.
in time for when the contract expires.

Anyone else getting random ping spikes in games recently? Noticed it about 2 days ago. Every 20-30 mins I'll get massive lag spike (enough to stop the game completely) for about 1 second. Not sure if it's my connection or on their end.
Ive had a lag issue from the joined, loading anything takes longer then my sky 8mb did, but they are adamant my broadband has no issue, and I cant use the wifi more then 10 feet away, I've been on the phone to them twice a month at least, I still have no results and no fiber in my area.

Contract ends in a couple of months. Is it much cheaper just going broadband only? We currently get Phone M and 200MB.
Pay something around £26 a month which includes a £6 discount. Phone line was paid for up front. I'm only a little reluctent to completely get rid off the phone line because I look after my 5 month old daughter. So depending on who needs to get in contact with me. I do have a mobile though. Is the age of owning a landline over?

Out of all my friends and family who have a telephone line, only my parents still use it for actual calls. Everyone else who has one (because they are required to for their broadband connection) never plug in a telephone.
We've never had a telephone line installed in our house. Everyone simply calls our mobiles if they need to get hold of us.

well I just upgraded my VM line.

Very nice...every time I see the upload speed next to the download, I think it should be more though.

Does ur superhub 3 work properly in modem mode?
Mine keeps loosing internet but only in modem.
Moving house in a month and my current by infinity contract will be up. The new property has virgin in and looking at prices I can save myself a bit by switching to Virgin. What's people's general consensus of their packages/performance? Will be looking at 100mb plus phone package initially. I do a fair bit of online gaming so want to know if connection is pretty stable as seen a few posts about lag spikes.
My internet kept dropping when I first got it, very frustrating, but it seems. pretty stable now.
Mines only done it when i went from superhub 2AC to superhub 3 in modem mode.
In router mode it works fine never drops
Check Fibre speeds at your new place.
I will have to go VM in my new place due to only being estimated 15-21Mbps with Fibre.
Virgin you will generally get what you pay for, but if you're in a congested area then you won't.

Yes, I was using it in modem mode, but my TP link wifi was crap, so switched back to router mode on my SuperHub 3
