50Mbit Rollout Has Started

[TraxData]

Dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but 50mbit upgrade/rollout started earlier this week, some area's are now enabled ready for it (and configs are sitting nicely on the servers)...EX CW area's only right now!

Why even bother when they clearly cant provide 20mb to all customers?

It will be using pre-docsis3 which will clear bandwith up on the docsis1 tier packages, so hopefully it will help...

If its true then it will be trial area, because we in the call centres would be in for a bit of a surprise otherwise if someone rang in with a 50 meg fault.

I kind of think that we will find out before the public when the 50 meg is due to be launched.

No offense but call centre staff are the last to find out about anything at VM.

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

I will pass on the 50mbit service as I was hoping for a bit more value for my money.

Thanks for the info

pointless if its traffic shaped!

Is that to go with 20Mb business config in Nottingham (which it isn't) and the 50Mb trial you were on which Notts isn't configured for

Given what happened last week and the fact you would need your own fibre connection for all these services you had, just how true is this statement and from what official source

Its still only in the trial area's, no roll out has started as its a massive undertaking for training etc for new modems. It won't just happen

I think you'll find my info has never been incorrect, i suggest you go read up on my previous posts thankyou very much.

I assume your a knowledgable person, i assume you know how to use certain sites, go look for yourself, the 20mbit business config is already on the headend, its just not enabled in most area's for use, so again, check your info before you start accusing.

Hardly, you can have more than 1 account in your household you know, as long as its under a different name, so quit talkin crap.

P.S Just to clarify i had 20mbit Residental (under gfs name) 20mbit business (under my name) and Be 24mbit ADSL+2 under my name with a BT line, so no, i wouldnt need my own fibre connection, so please, get your facts right.

The upgrades may be being rolled out now, but hopefully they will wait to officially launch the 50Mb service until they have finished with the BB L tier upgrade.

It is all very well saying the CS/TSC staff may be the last to know, but until you can phone one of us and ask for the 50Mb service, it is all a bit academic

[utt]

Whilst the infrastructure is being put in place, nothing is being rolled out. You will recieve all training required and you won't be the last to know. As you say its academic, because no one can get the service until all this is done.

By the way there is no 20Mb Config file for business and yes I have checked and you forgot your 50Mb trial service as well.

All training required? oh dear someone doesnt know VM very well.

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.

As said by the OP, get your facts right. And there IS a 20Mb config for business, its been confirmed by people using it.

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.

Based upon previous experience, if Virgin want 50 meg to everywhere by the end if the year (bearing in mind that they won't be doing upgrades in December due to Christmas, they will have started rolling it out somepoint betwen now and the end of next month.

The fact they haven't told their staff unfortunately means nothing.

50 mbit get the rest of cable and adsl networks working better and sort out traffic shaping whats the point of having 50mbit when u cant even use it to its full speed complete waste of time
