50mbit - STM = £64.99 would you pay ?

where did that figure come from. Is that the cost of 50 meg ?

[BenMcr]

Nope. At the trial stage the price for 50Mb was £10 above the 20Mb service. so £47 by itself or you would be looking at (based on current offers) £41 with the phone or £51 with TV and phone

Obviously no confirmed prices have been announced yet

[frogstamper]

I wonder if the 50mb will be included in the VIP package? I think if it is then the price will go up to £95-£99pm, that's my prophecy.

Yes there is, perhaps you need to look harder, here is the filename for you, you can find it quite easily, here is a hint for you cmbus-pkg3, thankyou.

And i wasnt on the trial service, i was using for test/load balancing on the ubrs, please get your facts straight, you dont know what i do for a living nor what i am involved in tyvm.

Thye config file may exist but its not active in Notts and as a ex employee your not involved in anything with VM so what you are saying is all hearsay and lately incorrect. I know you arn't on the trial but I also now there is no 50Mb in Notts

Look mate, learn to spell and stop talking out of your rear end for a second.

Earlier you denied the config existed and denied it was on the server and you apparently even searched for it and it wasnt there, now your saying it is, but its not active, your wrong, quite a few people are already using the config, perhaps you should ring the business BB number and talk to them about it.

I repeat, yet again, for you.

I was not on the trial, there is no trial in nottingham, it was for load/balancing testing purposes only, every area has this run to see how stable the cabs/ubr/headends are, so again, please get your facts right.

I suggest you should do it the way people do on my forum. If you can't prove what you are saying, don't say it at all. Since TraxData is an ex employee you can be assured his information is correct.

Wow you hit the nail on the head they are an "EX-EMPLOYEE" not an "EMPLOYEE" so his" FACTS" are obviously wrong as TSC would have to be trained and so would Customer services or the so called 50 meg rollout would fall over in the first week! and could you imagine the uproar and bad press.

Think twice before believing everything your "EX-EMPLOYEE" prints listen to what the present staff have to say about it!

I don't believe he said there was.

And if he had, that is *not* how VM have operated in the past, something which I would have said.

VM introduce these things area by area, to minimise the load on Customer Support and faults (especially if something goes wrong).

Again, back to my earlier point, TSC are will be one of the last set of people to hear about things, past problems within VM would tell you this, hell they was the last ones to be told about STM come to think of it.

But im not here to force people to believe me, people will believe whatever this wish to, but i have been correct on everything i've said in the past so least its something to validate what i say, also alot of ex VM staff are still involved somewhat with VM one way or another.

If you read what Trax has said you would realise he has at no point stated that the 50meg product was being LAUNCHED. he has stated that the roll-out of the pre DOCSIS 3.0 technology has started. if you are stupid enough to believe that all that is involved in launching a new protocol on the network is to flick the big magical switch then you are deluded.

Trax has been a good source of information over the time i have spent on CF and it would really hack me off if i was helping people out by giving information only to be called a liar and have my head bitten off every time i spoke. Now may i suggest you go and spend a little time reading about how DOCSIS works and how it is implemented on a cable network.

pointless discussing it. Trax obviously has an axe to grind with VM as an Ex Employee but he is very inaccurate in some of his statements both here and on the Newsgroups. He has no idea what is happening with the 50Mb rollout but is obviously being fed false titbits by some ex colleagues for a laugh.

I would much rather respond to a more well informed post from a current employee

I think the TSC know quite a lot about 50Mb as they are supporting the trial

If you say so mate, i was quite happy with working with vm on the side and staying with them for BB,TV etc until this STM came into play..then phorm...

Well informed current employee? that's fine, but employees aint allowed to give out info, it breaks their NDA, i get my info from people very high up in the chain.

I suggest you check the new STM statement thread and the fact i said the new trials were being run (including the trials for overnight stm) before anyone in VM would ever admit it.

[BenMcr]

I'm not quite sure why everyone is arguing about this.

Virgin could roll out all the 50Mb upgrades to the network tomorrow if they liked. It still would not matter until you can actually phone up Virgin and ask for the product.

Also, I would like to point out, one of the reasons that Virgin sometimes don't let staff know about stuff until it is official, is to stop things getting posted to the web before it should.

This is a case in point

Yes, the key word there is "Trial" this has nothing to do with the trial, i dont think your quite understanding what im actually saying.

This is to do with the fact VM have now starting the rollout of upgrades required to launch the 50mbit package.

What an employee from CS ?

come on we all know they are the last to know about everything. I had to tell the CS that BB was enabled in my area when i first signed up for my 512kb (oh the days and then once again when i wanted my 10meg update. CS only know what they are told by management and if you look at past experience that is very little and much too late.

Trax knows about the network architecture and how things fit together. I don't suppose the boys and girls in CS know the innermost workings of the UBR's or the CMTS or anything else for that matter. You make your choices but i know who my money is on !
