I guess all those upgrades will enable speed increases and capacity for dedicated channels for WiFi. Hopefully, it will follow that we get our speed boost and WiFi early on in the roll out. I know it doesn't really work like that.

Yeah, thought as much. You are probably on a network with a 5-50MHz upstream band, and a 54MHz - 750MHz downstream band. Standard extended DOCSIS build.

VM's new build is 5-85MHz upstream and 108MHz-1002MHz downstream, with a field replaceable module upgrading that to (I think!) 5-230MHz upstream, 300MHz-1.3GHz upstream.

It's not necessary for the WiFi project, that will use relatively little bandwidth, but is certainly necessary to make room to go to from 8 to 16 and onwards to 24 DOCSIS 3 downstreams, let alone adding DOCSIS 3.1 into the mix.

I'll watch out for changes after the day of the network upgrade work and post them here when they happen.

Channels beyond 8 is where SH3 comes in I guess.

Just the nudge I needed to get round to calling them. Person I spoke to offered to upgrade me today to 100 if the area was ready! It was in March. Too little, too late. Downgraded to 50 service (never goes above 25 on a great day so why pay for extra), cancelled tv completely, saved £24/month.

Result. :)

When all the network upgrades are done and the speed boost roll out is complete will you not be tempted to review your position?

95% of the tv we watch is bbc/itv anyway, the rest we can download, usually months before they are shown here.

When it's done we'll end up on 100 anyway, there only are 2 of us living here, 2 desktops, 2 laptops. We don't do gaming so that'll be more than enough, in reality 50 is more than enough.

My mobile is already unlimited anything, when my wife's contract is up for renewal and we get unlimited everything we'll ditch the phone line as well.

So I guess the answer is no, not really :D

Just for a laugh I ran the speedtest again 1.62/0.38

On a 60 meg connection, that's pathetic.

and for comparison, connecting to Galaxy S5 mobile hotspot - 11.57/1.91

Fair enough. Your main reasoning is that you don't need the speed, or the phone or TV, not so much that VM is pants.
