Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

At least you already have 10mbit upload, thats what im mostly wanting the extra 20mbit down doesn't really matter to me.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

Hmm that Tenda N-60 wasn't behaving only got 20mbit wired speed so its gone back in the box, have ordered an Asus rt-n56u hopefully I can get my money back for the Tenda.

This is the graph with the old router back on the old 80.x.x.x IP

Very smooth looking grap the spikes from yesterday was when I was using the line.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

My new Asus RT-N56U just arrived got it configured and its speedy all the time both wireless and wired! Happy days, quite funny I get more speed wireless as Dell only put a 100mbit nic in.

Got a different IP again with the new router

Still seems the SHUB is stuck on using channel 4 & 5 on US instead of the 1 & 2 I got moved on to previously.

Happy with this router and for me didn't need to get the n66 as don't have the need for it and next upgrade will be to 802.11ac.

Forgot just need the 120mbit to be rolled out now hopefully the September date is true unfortunately it will probably be neared the end than the start of the month.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

Glad it's working out for you, it's an awesome router! You can probably get your old IP back by changing the MAC address to match the old one but if you're happy enough then don't bother.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

Glad you have it up and running with good results. Iv been on UP channels 2 & 3 for a while now and have had good results. Can't say Iv ever been on channels 4 or 5 that I ever noticed.

Thats also a very sleek bit of kit you bought.

Same for myself, the next upgrade will be to .ac but I cannot see that for a while yet, like you say we will be held to the 30th Sep before the uplift here - most likely, and if the rumoured 200Mb/s is next current hardware will be more than sufficient can't personally see VM going near the 1 Gigabit mark for a good while yet! :-p

FTTC Is Now available in my area yay ;)

So do i stay or go ??

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

I thought Hamilton had the FTTC rollout completed ages ago.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

Yes the Hamilton Exchange was completed ages ago. but am on the Blantyre Exchange.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

What site are you using for that?

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

I get all my info on 3 sites :

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

Well the BT checker has March 2014 for FTTC and these stats

The fttc checker says September coming soon to be honest its moved forward so the BT one prolly just never been updated. So have September for 120mbit from Virgin and FTTC...coincidence? Don't think so :P

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

Thanks! that's exactly what I needed!

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
 

There has defo been a shake up with the schedule there. I checked those sites not 2 months ago and they all had Coatbridge down for 2015 at one point with some 2014 reports. Now they are saying end of 2013, that's some coincidence.

I can't say I'm really of the mind to switch from VM because my connection (touch wood) has been solid and I can't really say iv been let down by it apart from STM. I get a really good deal with VM just now and to sacrifice that for a reduction in speed just to bypass STM would be a waste of money in the long run when u really look Into it I think. What I am hoping is that this is the wake up call VM has been needing and if they see this competition building more and more we might just see some better treatment this side of the grass.
