I got billed £70 as well but then ended up paying £0 not even the £30 one off.

Minutes after my last post, a nice man came to the door with my Superhub! 2 days early!

Installed and running now!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade
 

I have had the upgrade and not paid anything by CC, so I am expecting the £30.00 to be charged on my next Bill.

I guess you won't be torrenting anything for a while then......:erm:

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

The speed test is wrong, try another one.

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

Try this one http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/

Yours should be similar to this http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/res...068&v=12099134

So Opera might be a fast downloader, but it appears to be a very slow uploader! :shocked:

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

Had some ongoing problems with being kicked out post 30 mb installation. First time I phoned the help desk they remotely went into the superhub and did something or other and after that no change for the better. After this phoned again and they did some more tinkering and also sent some "refreshing signals" to the superhub and for the last couple of hours things have been fast and fine - hope it stays that way.

Anyway I'm just off to open a beer for my own bit of "refreshment".

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

Hmmm...
Thought things were going smoothly but.....
In spite of disabling the firewall and IP flood detection......

When I loaded a fast well seeded torrent (purely for testing of course) the wireless just kept dropping and reconnecting. As soon as the torrent completed normal service was resumed. Browsing wirelessly while the torrent was runnning was impossible. :(

I've had a ambit 256 with a lynksys wrt54G2 in the past and then went to an ordinary Hub and I have never had this problem before.

I am slowly coming round to the view that this lessthansuperhub really is a POS.

I have changed the channels around (yet again) and opted for 145 as the 802.11 mode. I doubt it will make a difference.

It would seem the router hardware can't cope with heavy loading. :( If so no firmware update will fix it.

Roll on this bridge mode update. I think I might get a cheapo DIR-615 off EBay to play with. ;)

Oh and this damn time out thing from the interface most of the time when you change a setting is so annoying. :mad:

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

I think many issues are memory/resource related yes.

few things point to this.

1 - very low default timeout values (indicates a low capability of connection capacity).
2 - issues I get with port forwarding on and even when just using DMZ.
3 - issues people have had using gigabit speeds stressing the unit.

a new firmware may well fix these issues tho as firmware updates can achieve wonderful things even on poor hardware. I have seen poor routers turn decent with new firmware and good routers turn poor with firmware updates. One thing that will probably never change is the lack of features (will stay too dumbed down), but I like to think the bugs and reliability will be fixed.

Let's hope so.

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

Hi guys, is phoning up to activate all automated? Bit late atm and only bothering to do it now.

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

no is human controlled.

given it can be a wait till the next midnight I would leave it until after sleep.

Re: [Update] ALL 20>30Mb upgrade discussion
 

Well that worked! :D But still waiting on the hub, what time do they do deliveries until?

No bother it's just arrived and I've just set it up.
