Peter,
I guess by your number of posts, you feel you have the right to criticize any post that does not fall within your narrow minded views.
Believe me you do not have that right

I actually worked for the company until the 10th February so I know what you were told is not actually going to happen for the reasons I have already posted, the double speed rollout takes precedence over anything else and they are not going to throw a spanner in the works on the say so of some idiot in Retentions giving blag advice.

Remember you have received a Superhub so you are in line for any upgrade but people on standard kit are not and they will not issue 3/4 million Superhubs in a non cost effective upgrade, somehow I rather doubt that Virgin media will pump 30 million pound minimum in a fantasy upgrade from which they would receive no monetary return.

Re: 30MB minimum by end of 2012

Well....
Today I installed an L Broadband 30Meg download and 1meg upload!. It seems annoyingly that 30meg might be a minimum for "new" customers by the end of the year. obviously existing customers equipment couldnt handlt more than 20meg

Re: 30MB minimum by end of 2012

upgrades in hope will cure everyone on docsis3 but thats exactly it, moving everyone onto docsis3 yet it doesnt have to be 30meg although in this speeeeed world (which i like ) means bigger number... in hope the end user doesnt run riot... hmmm

I think we just broke a record.

Worst upload:download ratio to ever exist in the UK.

Re: 30MB minimum by end of 2012

someone on the VM forums had a 888000 or 800000 (cant remember which) upload on their 30meg config. It in a later post changed to the 2meg upload tho.

Re: 30MB minimum by end of 2012

I've seen a couple of people on the forum who are on 10Mb saying they got calls regarding a free upgrade to 30Mb so there may be some truth to it, we only need to wait and see. Possibly they will begin to upgrade any 512K, 1Mb customers and apparently as far as we know they are already upgrading 2Mb customers to 5Mb.

So no need for everyone to argue, only time will tell...

Re: 30MB minimum by end of 2012

I got a call yesterday offering me upgrade to 60Mb (30 doubled I assume) with free superhub. I am currently on 10Mb. Upgrade on Monday!
