Anyone on the 20mbit/s yet? - Page 12

if you want to believe in a estimated timer, go ahead. My grabit also says I download at 1.700mb/s and the timer is lower that that, till it settles and you get a true account. Try DU Meter, lol. Noob.

When I were a lad, (actually I was in my 20s), my hayes 2400bps modem used to load almost half a page of text from my not quite online newsfeed at spuddy.mew.co.uk and it were luxury....

Trying to make me look like a lier is one thing, But calling me a n00b is just out of order, You've hurt my feelings and i'm going to go to bed and cry myself to sleep.

Oh wait what am i saying... I can't go to sleep 20Mb could happen at 12

.

On topic i can't wait, really i can't.

Also dam this forum is red hot with activity, i like, i like a lot

Addlestone in Surrey just switched to 20 meg though the traffic shaping in the evenings they started the other week is limiting it to around 10. Will try a few downloads after midnight.

Had to reboot my modem to get the new config.

Lol, ok you got me, I didn't mean it ok

Back on topic, does it mean that if you're throttled on 20mb will you be (back) on 10mb or will it be 5mb?

I'm sure it will be sometime IN May, not on the dot of May (I hope I'm wrong).

This thread is going to get spammed to hell come 12:01 with "Where is my 20mb?!?!" posts. It's *from* the 1st of may remember, I doubt I'll see it before at least mid may here, the Midlands always seems to be just that, in the middle for any roll-out.

Sirpingalot · 30-04-2007, 22:29

From what I've heard...it's supposed to be rolling out in the NW early... not sure about any other areas.

C'mon. I mean, I'll give it to 12.02

id lkike to know this too.. i have 20 mb now but throttled its more like 5... im assuming this is because its not "officially" 20mb yet... or is it always going to be throttled to 5 mb..

Well If VM actually gave roll out dates and information to their customers on when they will exactly get it, we wouldnt really have that problem...but then, yes we would as they always plan to deliver, and give us failure

Rik · 30-04-2007, 22:42

Have to laugh at this thread now.

HEY PEOPLE YOU DO REALISE THAT 20MB IS BEING ROLLED OUT FROM MAY 1ST?
