50Mbit Rollout Has Started

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

I do and your chatting hits ( I believe my previous word was mis- spelt ) and winding people up by having them believe that tomorrow they can order 50 meg, your April Fool joke is 19 days late.

Even if you just point out that they are upgrading the infrastructure so to encompass 50 meg which has been ongoing since before the 50 meg announcement, this thread is basically in place as a wind up, because what is actually happening with regards to the 50 meg rollout is mostly common knowledge.

Full training of TSC staff so that the service can be supported, and full training of Customer services and Sales staff so they can provide the relevant level of service required will happen before a 50 meg service is put on sale to anyone.

Anyone who is stupid enough to say the above staff are the last to know should think about that comment, what do you want trained staff who know your product or surprised staff who are the last to know about a new product.

Where have i been winding people up as you so kindly put it? i have not said you can go and order it have i? just stating that the upgrade/pre-rollout has now started.

You are talking rubbish.. The only 50Mb/s enabled area on VM is the Ashford/Dover/Folkstone trial.

There is one other area that has some of the kit in place - but not all of it.. and it is on the ex-Telewest Platform..

Why do you continue to spout off with info that is so false it is unbelievable

Oh my god i cannot believe you lack even the most basic levels of intelligence !

To provide 50meg Virgin needs to roll out the DOCSIS 3.0 network. This is a lengthy and technical process and requires lots of new hardware and setup. 50meg is still months away from launch but VM have started upgrading the different area's of the network to support the new technology. This is called a ROLL-OUT ! the current docsis 1.0 system cannot even handle 50meg so how can it be launched ?

Give me strength !

VM are not going pre-DoCSIS 3.0.. They will launch with full 3.0 compliant CPE.. More Traxdata rubbish info

Edit : Not trial area, this is official upgrade rollout ready for the product release.

There has been no official upgrade rollout yet..

Your the one talking rubbish, where did i say enabled?

The Upgrade/Pre-rollout started taking place this week, you know, they have just started upgrading the hardware ready for the full roll out, why are some of you not understanding this?

And you wouldnt know what areas, unless your high up in VM, tyvm.

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.

20Mb/s has not been launched for Business.. There is a trial currently running but not in Notts.. You continue to talk out of your rear end

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.

Trax is talking out of his rear.. The only 50Mb/s capable kit currently in the network is the Kent trial area.

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.

Who ever you are getting your info from they are pulling your chain as you haven't had any accurate information that I can see

You don't need to be very high up in VM to know where the 10Ks are going in, but they are not going in for 50Mb/s you tube!

You need mental strength to read my SECOND paragraph with regards to the infrastructure ( try a dictionary for meaning ) I am not talking about it being launched the threads author just appearss to be having his chain jerked.

So for the insult and on behalf of your own STUPIDITY

How would you know? go on, tell me your source

The upgrades required for the rollout of 50mbit started this week, if you know anybody who works for VM, you'd know that.

My source, one of the managers in the network planning team and 2 other people even higher up.

Lol, just lol at the last comment.

I dont know why i bother.

I wouldn't give you the satisfaction of letting on how I know..

The upgrades that are underway currently are for normal growth and for the 4-10Mb/s Speed Uplift.. Not 50Mb/s.. The kit that is going in has the connections to add the 50Mb/s equipment to it.... but.. it is not there yet.

Your source(s) are wrong

I think the amount of posts i have and the amount of reps i have for providing info in the past about internal things at VM prove my point, good day.

And go back to DW thankyou

I got tipped off that there was some nomark over here on CF spouting rubbish so I thought I would come on over and dispell the myth that is Traxdata.
Your reps mean nothing.. You have some low level info from inside VM that is inveriably incorrect and that is it

At the end of the day mate most people on this forum would rather take Traxs word for it than a relative newcomer who is downright rude.
