Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
Virgin will be soon doubling my d/l speed which is great, sometime in the next or following quarter....BUT I and probably WE all have it already.
I use a VPN and its great for what I need but it does slow down D/L speed a little until now. I did a speed test while using the VPN and it was double what I have without it. I was flabbergasted my flabber was truly gasted. Checked again on regular internet and it was back to 30mgs. So it is obvious to me that my speed is being throttled until the big announcement by VM that they have doubled my speed ! So if you peeps have a vpn try it now see what your speeds are. Now we can get the use of faster d/ls today than be kept waiting by VM. I can understand the business strategy of VM in doing this as I am sure they can understand why we want to circumvent it . |

sorry dude but it doesn't work that way

There are a few exceptions when a faster VPN result can be true, such as when it routes you around a congested peering point for example, but generally you shouldn't believe the usual speed test sites results if you are connected to a VPN. As an example, I one got an 65Mbit upload speed when connected via a VPN yet I only had 40 down/10 upload from Sky at the time. |

Compression.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
I just can't get my head round it. Because peoples say here, they got 152Mb with 8 downstream on the superhub, while other still got 6 downstream on the superhub but both still same max out speed 160Mb?
What's so special about downstream 6 or 8 on the hub? |

My understanding is that those areas that have been re-segmented to alleviate congestion have mostly modems on 8 channels DS rather than 6. You can deliver 152Mb or more in areas that haven't been re-segmented, but users would be more susceptible to the effects of congestion. They will achieve 160Mb in tests at times when their local cabinet or node isn't being heavily used, e.g. just for surfing. There will be times when they are more likely to get less than 152Mb than those on 8 channels. Somebody add to this or put me right if needs be. |
Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
broadband has been supercharged from up to 60Mb to a whopping up to 100Mb.
i done speed test only getting 40mb do need to give them a call? |
Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
No, you need to do a wired speed test
