VIP now with Vivid 300
I noticed recently that the VIP package now comes with Vivid 300 broadband so I rang today to see what I needed to do to go on to it. They said that they could do it immediately. They also said to ring up early in November to redo my package as my discounts are due to expire. I have now checked my account and it says I'm on 'VIVID 350 Optical Fibre'. I didn't know 350 existed! Does anyone know anything about this? (My network status on the router says 'Max Traffic Rate' (Download) 402500000. Upload is 22010000)

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
Just had the same conversation on another thread. Same has happened to me as well. Seems they have quietly rolled it out to residential as well as business users in some areas.
On checking the postcode checker, it does state "up to 350" for my area but doesn't seem like VM are actively pushing it. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2017/08/3.png Cheers Phil |

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
Another quiet tier added, I wonder if this means we might see a 250 tier pop up as well?

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
Hm, my postcode checker says "up to 350mbps" but I don't seem to be able to switch to it or anything.....
Edit: One phone call later... https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2017/08/4.png |

While I am configured for 350 I get 'Up to 300' in my area.

Just got a deal from Retentions to go from 200/12 to 300/20 for less money overall :) Bad news is I have to switch to Hub 3 with it allegedly dodgy latency .. good decision?

Re: VIP now with Vivid 300
Which bit are you guys getting your information from because when I put my postcode in it asks for my house number and then takes me this page. Nowhere does it says you can get max speed of 200mbits, 300 or 350.

Any ideas when non-300/350 areas will get it activated?
Im on 200 Gamer but would like 300/350 but almost 2 years now and still my area is 200 only? House was a new build in October 2015. |
