Hi all :)

Just latly,i haven't ordered anything like a speed upgrade,but of late I'm getting 4 mb speeds?
I should only have 2 meg as that's what I've been on all year.
Yet i get 4 mb's speed's?
I pay like 18 per month now for 2mb,so i should get a free upgrade as this is way expensive,i might phone retentions soon about more speed for 18 per month.
Has there been a free upgrade everyone has got?

Use the speedtest link above and post the results please.

Also note that this was in the wrong forum - General VM Discussion is not for broadband issues - You have been told before to post in the correct forum(s).

You seem to be on a 4Mb connection which (ought to) cost £25/month so I urge you to contact CS immediately to either reduce your connection speed or increase your bill to the correct amount.

On the other hand, you could just keep quiet and chuckle to yourself when you remember that you are probably the only VM customer in the country who's getting twice the speed that they're paying for...

I agree VMs stand alone charges for bb are on the high side 2mb=£18, 4mb£25 and 20mb=£37, but taken with a phone they are more reasonable, £15.50, £22.50 and £31.00. I'm on the 4mb offer and these were my results from the above test.
Test 1 1024 took 2153ms=475.6KB/sec, approx 3919kbps, 3.83mbps
Test 2 1024 took 2142ms=478.1KB/sec, approx 3940kbps, 3.85mbps
Test 3 1024 took 2161ms=473.9KB/sec, approx 3905kbps, 3.81mbps
Test 4 2048 took 4294ms=476.9KB/sec, approx 3930kbps, 3.84mbps

Overall average speed = approx 3924kbps, 3.83mbps
