Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
But they can only do a no NAT fixed IP with bridge mode which has already been stated will not be available at launch.. hence my point that it'll mess up a lot of businesses who don't realise this on ordering.

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
Does Business traffic get a higher priority in the local network over residential traffic?

They used to say that you had a better contention ratio but that info was never believed and seems to have vanished from their website

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
My understanding is that QoS is deployed to favour business circuits. Do Kymmy or Ben agree?

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
Honestly no idea.. It seemed no faster when I switched from VM to VMB and results were no different.. Only someone with access to the config could probably agree or not..

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
Sept/Oct was the date I got from someone associated with the project though they did say that they're not privvy to the actual exact release details..
They did say that this would probably be 50 and 100Mb only with the 10/20 being left as existing packages..
I hope though that they realise that the can't leave the 10/20 packages as is especially as they are so out-dated..

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
I was told that the 10 / 20 packages will still be available to those that have them today but will be withdrawn and replaced with 30 Mb/s and 50 Mb/s, both with fixed IP address options (single or multiple addresses).
If you go for the calls inclusive option for the phone on the 50 Mb/s they are goign to add mobile calls into the free category (for up to 10 min per call for mobiles and 60 mins for other calls).

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
I'll take the 100mb business service anyday, if it means not having to deal with that crappy CPE they're forcing on the consumer market... And doubly so if it means better contention ratios.

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
They don't have a 100Mb/s service in the business lineup yet. The CPE for business is the same hardware as the residential Superhub, but with different firmware

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
Well officially there isn't a 50mb yet either, but I guess we'll find out what they release when they release it.
That said I have taken a look at the insides of a superhub, and the base hardware isn't really bad - most of the faults are probably firmware related so different firmware can only make things better...
