Surprised they didn't increase the upload speed on the 200/12 to 200/20

Interestingly, today my VIVID 200 is showing 220/20 on speedtests

I'll check tonight or tomorrow and see if it's been increased.

I just restarted my modem after seeing this and mine has gone from 220/12 to 220/20 too:

My little eyes have just opened wide. If 200/20 is becoming a thing then VM may be back on the cards once PN runs out.

Well it looks like VM are finally going back to 10:1 ratio.

Hmm my 350 is showing 386 down 36 up this morning.

labcoattech · 28 Jun 2019 at 11:24

Makes me wonder if another price increase is on the way. :mad:

I wouldn't just wonder, I would expect it. :rolleyes:

The price has gone up in Q4 every year for years now. I think you can miss it if you've recently joined as they up the price.

Just rebooted, have 220/20 as well.

Stabilising..

benjii · 29 Jun 2019 at 13:26

As soon as they announce standalone 500, I'll be all over that. I'm fine with my 350 and I'm certainly not going to pay 3 times what I do now to get 500, I guess I just need to hurry up and wait.

The virgin media mobile isnt as fast as standard EE.. so yes unless you want unlimited data on your phone at 60mbs not really worth it. Deffo not worth the whole package standard price of £139.99!

200MB arriving today and a Ubiquiti AP-LR a few days after :cool:

.

labcoattech · 1 Jul 2019 at 09:52

Rebooted the SH2 and can confirm 220:20

squawkBOX · 1 Jul 2019 at 13:54

Details here: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.p...-starts-boosting-broadband-upload-speeds.html

Although there also appears to be increased prices as well...

labcoattech · 1 Jul 2019 at 14:22

Looks like the price increase is planned for September / October, will see what discount they can offer as my contract also expires then.

doodah · 1 Jul 2019 at 19:59

Wow, I knew the SH3 was bad but this is plain awful. I get full speed in the living room and 60-80 in the kitchen but you can kiss goodbye a decent WhatsApp video call outside the living room. Hopefully the Ubiquiti AP will help.
