Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
As the upgrades are now due to start please use this thread to report that your area has been upgraded (please include your Original speed, UBR/HEADEND (for example WARR2-1-0 for the Warrington Area (use the connection tab on the main menu to find out what yours is then post the bit in red cpc03-warr2-1-0-cust123.1-1.cable.virginmedia.com)), a current upgraded speed test from speedtest.net and as requested by Quassie a modem config and AC requests up/down stream details.
No off topic or fake speed-upgrade posts will be tolerated in this thread. Please include all info especially the UBR/Headend and location so others can search their for reports from their area. Please remember that this thread is ONLY for members to report when their area is upgraded (not upgrades via customer services or retentions), for all other posts please use the existing thread at http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/10...and-speed.html |
Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
Just checked mine, now on 20meg from 10meg (newc3-0-0).
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/04/80.png Not sure how to do the modem config and AC requests up/down stream details. so if some one can tell me how to I will oblige. |

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
your upload uplift hasnt happened? I know the 2012+ upload upgrade is seperate to the down being pushed but you havent even got the old up upgrade.
call in for SuperHub, you'll probably end up on 30 down and maybe upstream modulation changing. |
Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
What upload should I be on?

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)

sorry for involving in a thread where should be only post statistics but the upload as far i know should follow later on
hope the mode can delete the comments |
Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
yeah I forgot about that. sorry. still, call in for a SuperHub :)
|
Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
weird that 20mbit is only 1 channel. Hopefully it till go to 2 after the speed increases. If they let everyone use all 8 channels regardless of tier, it would probably help congestion no end.

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
he hasnt got the VMNG300 or SuperHub General
|
Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
You won't get a SuperHub for the 10Mbit > 20Mbit uplift unless you've got a REALLY old modem - which if you have Virgin will let you know and offer you a SuperHub to get the uplift
|
Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
do the ambit 255s and 256s only run on one channel then?

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
I've just been upgraded. My area reference is 31 if that helps. When I got home from work the website said I'd been upgraded but it's taken a while to actually happen. Suddenly lost connection did a reboot of the modem and now a speed test shows 20.30Mbps download. Excellent, and that's on an old NTL 250 modem :D
Fast enough for me for now and means I don't need a superhub. |

often reset the modem, usually my virgin media will tell you I am up and running.

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
My areas download speed doubling is done but still no sign of the upload speed changing. My neighbour had his double done automatically and i got mine early by phoning, both of us still on 5mb upload instead of 10.

i dont understand why they dont enable 8 channels for all areas and (I cant believe I am going to say this) give everyone a shub to load balance across all 8 channels regardless of tier. I imagine it would reduce network congestion enormously, at least half I would guess. |

Hemel Hempstead area 31 has doubled download, but not upload. I have a VMNG300 modem with config now saying downstream max 111000000 bps and upstream as it was before at 5120000 bps. Are we supposed to be getting a 10:1 download/upload ratio as part of this upgrade?

VM have £5,779 million of long-term debt (not really an overdraft....;)).

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
In short, nobody actually has any money, its all just debt secured on other debt. Thats why the worlds economy is so screwed, everyone was operating on long term IOU's and one (particularly nasty) end of the chain went bad and the debt was called in, which triggered the entire chain of debt to collapse.

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
Been upgraded to 60Mb this week by retentions.
Upload is still 3Mb (on XL), retentions and faults tell me that I should have 6Mb upload, and a engineer has been booked. They say there is a problem with the signal levels, but as you will see below the SH is only configured for 3Mb up. I didn't think we were upgraded yet (LE3 Leicester) nothing on the myvirginmedia homepage? Is this engineer wasting his time?

You can always ring them and ask to be upgraded. The price increase (pointed out by Ben in another thread) is not related to the speed increase. It's simply a cost hike.

eg. if I found 50billion tommorow and then decided to spend it on a national FTTP rolliut, it would be harder for me to differ on advertising and get takeup because people without FTTP can advertise it as fiber anyway. Sort of like the unlimited advertising, in that the value of true unlimited declined because everyone with specified limit FUP's and throttles were still allowed to call their service unlimited. |

I checked on the Virgin Media website and it says March - April and when I login, I see no green shiny bar indicating that it has been upgraded.

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
Speed-doubled to 100Meg in Gravesend (Area 06). I get 105Meg down, 5Meg up, direct from VMG300 modem. 93Meg through Netgear WNR2000 router (VM supplied). I have requested a free Superhub, to give it a try. Don't need wireless, so will just use it as a modem / wired router. If the wired routing is not much cop, will upgrade to something like an Asus N56U and use SH in modem-only mode.

Grimsby (or at least my part of Grimsby - UBR/Headend - grim17-2-0) has been upgraded. I'm not one of those who requested an early upgrade.

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
Just checked with some relatives who are on Virgin Cable - they're on 10Mb - and it appears they haven't been upgraded yet, so it looks like it's still being rolled out here in Grimsby.
