Re: 20Mbit/s coming in May
 
Mmmm, I wonder how it will affect all those that have been given 'offers' to stay, will they be paying £19.50 as opposed to £17.50 p/m for their 10mb connection :shrug:

I have that VIP package, which is £85 per month and includes Broadband XL. So will I now pay £2 pound more as well?

This has been posted before IIRC, £2 increase is only if not in package. VIP get upgraded to 20 meg and price stays £85.

Just out of interest, if you have three for £30 and pay the difference between M and XL packages, does that go up by £2 as well?

Hopefully they will upgrade all tiers to something like: medium 4Mb, large 8Mb and extra large 20Mb. ie double all levels??

this would keep them ahead of the cometition.

what do you think??

They can increase, bring them all into line, pretty much anything.

This is the beauty of the VM cable network, as soon as a competitor gets close, well nearly close, then they just raise the bar that bit more.

Not sure that the upload speed increase is any great thing, but then, upload saturation does cause more problems than download saturation.

Thats one hell of a sweetner.
the upload increase is still bad :-(


is there really any particular reason why upload speeds are soo slow - is it a limit of the cable technology or something?

I would expect them to stay as is. I got upgraded yesterday to 10meg for 95p and was told that the package im now on is a price for life. Still, £2 more, that means ill be paying £38 for 20meg and Talk unlimited, still cant complain.

yes correct it's a limitation of the technology. it's a lot more costly to give you more upstream.

We haven't heard anything about the other levels changing, so I don't think they're going to - at least not for the moment.

Can't believe they are going to increase the price to £37, its expensive as it is... rip off

Who else gives 20MB at a cheaper price, for people that don't live next door to the exchange then?
