As a software tester, things need to be tested no matter how small. i work for a bank and they did release small changes with no testing but even these can cause major outages so now everything is tested/checked even text changes.

defects (problems) in testing cost £10-£100 per day to fix defects in live can cost £1000's per hour to fix!

if VM did the Big Bang approach and "flicked the switch" and this caused a nationwide outage think of the cost and the chaos this would cause.

Got my upload increase on 10MB last night
Internet wasn't working in the morning, had to get a new DHCP lease from the modem on the router, and it seems the ready light bug is fixed too

What area are you from Neo-Tech

Dewsbury, but I'm guessing it's part of the Huddersfield roll out.

Aha, no problem and I will do haha, just wondering when the Traffic Management will be updated because right now it's very easy to get capped =/

I don't see it changing to be honest.

Sucks Will it ever be updated this year?

[dd11]

Anyone else been increased?
Will it always require rebooting the modem manually to update it?

10Mb= upto but not over 10Mb because of the modem configuration file
20Mb= upto but not over 20Mb because of the modem configuration file
50Mb= upto but not over 50Mb because of the modem configuration file

How can you achieve higher than what's available? Are you in a trial area with larger bandwidth capabilities or do you have an adsl connection?

If adsl then what speeds do you recieve compared with what's advertised?

I get:

51 Mb Download

1.68 Mb Upload.


More than what VM Advertise.

Thats because the the config file for 50Mb is set to 53Mb download and 1.75Mb upload, this allows for overheads.

Actually your config file is set at 53Mb down and 1.75Mb up and you can check this in the config pages, so no surprise there whatsoever.
