I wouldn't mind my 200Mb connection having 20Mb upload.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

Mine does :)

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

Tried on web chat to upgrade 200Mb to 300Mb on my VIP package but it isn't available in the area yet though the online postcode checker says it isn't, the street around the corner can? The person was saying I would get notified in My Virgin Media when it becomes available but I'm not sure it will? Is there anyway to find when 300Mb will become available? I'm sure the postcode checker stated a few weeks back that 300Mb was available but it now says 200Mb. I've been on 24 downstream channels for months now.

Hardly disappointing:

Given the majority of customers are on the lower tiers, I wouldn't be surprised if Virgin kept them at a lower ratio - they do ultimately use the most bandwidth. Makes sense to put the highest tiers on 10:1, another incentive to upgrade now that we're hitting a bit of a "Good enough for me" threshold on Download speeds.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

well spotted, I hope they do do it because the last time I was on 10:1 was when I was on 100/10 and I only got that because I was one of the very first people to sign up. I think it only took them two months to change it to 100/5 for any new subscribers/tier changes. 350 is obviously staying at 350/20 and a 400mbit tier would be a bit of a waste of time in terms of speed increase.

What would be amazing and a big WOW next year is if when they start playing around with docsis3.1 they not only bring out a 500mbits tier but make it 10:1 at 500/50. That would definitely kick ass.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

I think Igni said elsewhere that DC3.1 is going to be downstream only at first, so I imagine large upload speed increases are still a ways off. Then again 50Mbit upload is hardly a leap from 30Mbit.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

We haven't got 30mbit upload either though. It will be 20 going up to 50 which would be a nice increase if it were to happen.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

500/50 is doable on 3.0.

Id be happy to see 300/30 or 350/35 at the moment, its probably the only thing that will tempt me off my current 200/20.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

it would be nice but it's not going to happen though, at least not on the current tiers and I can't see them doing a "gamer 300" with 300/30. We need a new 400mbit tier at the very least and they can start a new gimmick and called it something like Lightning 400.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

I dunno, I think the faster speeds are starting to lose their allure. With every price rise there's plenty of people saying they've dropped a tier because it's good enough.

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

🤔 realistically you don't need anything over 200mbps ... I'm on 300 purely for the upload! 😇

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
 

I wouldn't hold your breath for anything faster on the residential side for a while.
