Hi i was jsut wondering if anyone has any clue about the upload speeds due to the recent upgrade to 100mb i got upgraded a few days ago running fine as expected but my upload seems to be stuck at 5mbps?

Yes, they haven't upgraded the upstreams yet just the down.

I do hope virgin ups its upload speed to compete against BT infinity... the upload speeds are pitiful compare to it

I am sure they are sticking to 10:1 ratios, it does look poor compared to BT infinity but unless hell freezes over I am sure they will not budge from it.

I personally believe 30Mb should get 9Mb up, 60Mb should have 18Mb up and 120Mb should get 36Mb up. though as has been described in the past even with 4 20Mb upstream channels it just wouldn't have the capacity to cope with that kind of upstream offering. I am sure comcast cable in the US has a much better ratio than virgin media does.

BT's top services are 330 down, 20 up or 330 down, 30 up. Compared to that, VM's ratios aren't particularly bad.

Course compared to 40/10 or 80/20, which far more people have, is another matter
