Thanks. So the question begs, is it worth running the SH2 in modem mode when it arrives?

Thankfully no sales of new additional tiers prematurely, in a similar manner to how the old 100/10 tier was done.

When sales of additional tiers are done in upgraded areas, it's dire anyway!

That depends on what you want to do with it. Anything straightforward shouldn't be a problem. If you were already running in modem mode and are happy then just carry on the same.

I look at it the other way round and say shubs should always be used in modem mode and only revert to router mode in an emergency/last resort.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
No surprise that they're conveniently now putting bundle price up £3.50-£4 per month at the same time as the 'free' upgrades.
On the bright side, it's an extra chance to re-negotiate.

VM will be getting a TiVo box and a SH2 back in Feb if they don't haggle.

Let's not generalise. Additional tiers are not the same as uplifts.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
Your lucky. When the emails were sent out promising this up comming upgrade it was stated on the my virgin media website it would be "before December"... I just looked today and now it says "Your speed boost will be ready by the end of March 2016."
So, once again, it seems Virgin have lied about their upgrades.

They haven't lied, they made an estimate and it changed. These things happen.

Seems to happen an awful lot were Virgin are concerned.
