Re: 50mb upload increase finally
Wack, from what I can read it looks like VM are going to do a 1-10 contention.... so say:
50meg down = 5 meg up
20meg down = 2 meg up
10meg down = 1 meg up
or am I just wishful thinking here Ben or Masque?

Re: 50mb upload increase finally
Thanks for that info  Oh I hope its true, uploading to youtube is a nightmare ATM. That would cut my upping time in half!

Do you honestly think that we could answer that at the moment, the are rumours but they are not something I could post with it being business sensitive information.

Re: 50mb upload increase finally
so let me get this right, 5mb upload would equate to say 550kb/sec upload speed or nearer the 600kb mark?

Re: 50mb upload increase finally
Darn, I read the thread title and got all excited, but then realised I'm still on 1.75
Ah well, heh
But still, 5mb isn't much really, at least, it won't be when BT's fibre is more readily available.

Re: 50mb upload increase finally
bit of news from the sofa which i have the ok to post here
Quote:
Following the successful Huddersfield and Coventry trials, we've been running some further, successful, customer trials of 10:1 upload speeds, including M and L customers
We're due to be making an announcement on changes to our upload speeds at the end of this month - so please watch this space!
Cheers,

We will be rolling this out across the country in phases starting next month for about 6 months and communications are all in planning now - I'm afraid I can't send a one-size fits all notification but you will be receiving a service email once your upload speed has been increased!

A six month rollout sounds about right for an increase in upload speeds.
