I would not hold your breath then.;)

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Netgear make the Superhub and the VMNG300.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Is the vmng300 not ambit?

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

VMNG300 is an Ambit unit not Netgear.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Hopefully VM give Ambit a crack at the new Superhub. My 300 has been faithful for over a year and a half

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Ah ok I was confused by the NG.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

You've sullied the name of the VMNG300 by relating it to a Netgear!!!!

Shame on you!!!:D:D:D:D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Lol so Netgear aren't that popular then...

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

could be forgiven considering they come with netgear power supplies.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Sounds like Ubee Interactive are making the new superhub then.

Virgin Media Next Generation 300.:D

But no longer.:)

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

I remember when I was upgraded from 10meg to 20meg the modem I had didn't even support that speed. Someone told me and I had to phone NTL to ask for a new modem. I'm pretty sure it was a silver modem. That had both USB and Ethernet ports. New one was some smaller black one, I wonder who made them.. anyone?

Couldn't grumble though the 10 to 20meg was a free upgrade. Both were solid modems didn't have any problems with them.

Edit I think the one was the Ambit 256 that I had for 20meg.

Virgin Media Next Generation 300.

Then they went 2 generations behind! Good one VM!!!!

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Not really as I already know.:D:D:D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

I already know but am sworn to secrecy. Some good ideas being thrown about like

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

why is there a desperation to keep it secret?

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Its probably Netto.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Doubtful to say the least.;)

Because it is business sensitive information and will be until launch.:)

No but a good but of deduction Sherlock.:)

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

VM always go for bargain bucket stuff so who's cheap and probably make you not so cheerful when you try to use their stuff.

Hmmm...How about Belkin. :D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

D-Link?
Ambit?
TP-Link?

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Would be hillarious if it was netgear but a v2.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Isn't it already v2?

I wonder what the v1 was like? Dear god....

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

:shocked:

You have trouble with your own name ..

There isn't, its not a secret as far as I know, but as no one has been told by VM I'm not gonna risk it .. Ben might tell you ..

I've got one .. and guess what :) works fine for me :D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Of course I already know I read our intranet.:D

And the is some good information on there about it as well.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

oh right, ok I didn't know they had gone public, I only got the "final" design the other day .. seemed ok to me, signed it off.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

It has been mentioned on there briefly, but if you want more information about it you just do an article search and the is a fair bit of detail to be found, and it is quite an interesting read.:)

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Final design would suggest different spec.:scratch::scratch:

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

They will look identical but made by different manufacturers and the will be no option for a customer to choose which version they are supplied with as they will have the same codes when being ordered.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Cool .. I will take a look, see which bits they stole from the docs :D

Design means many things, like what to call it, how much it costs, er ..

:cool:

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Oi nopanic my name is criag, I can spell!!

As for the vendor, I'll post it providing my mate doesn't get sacked for leaking company info. If you say its been made public I'll tell you

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

I would not post it to be honest if you have been told it in confidence as none of the Virginmedia staff posting here would do so due to it being business sensitive information.

We will post it when it is officially announced and not before.

Is your name Criag or Craig.;)

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

okay. I'm sure he wouldn't get sacked but I wouldn't want him to get a *******ing on my behalf

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

He doesn't work for VM .. so if someone has told him, he's not restricted like we are ..

However as VM bod, I would request you don't .. PM me though, I'm interested if you have the right info ..

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

My name is Craig I was taking the mick

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

I would too with a name like that :D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

I would be interested to hear what you think it is as well, just do not expect to have it confirmed.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

You mean what Craig thinks it is ?

I know what it is lol .. I've known for ages :D

Still can't believe we got Durex to make a modem .. its the safest one yet ..

Apparently it drops after 30 seconds though ?

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

We both know what make it is and I expect you have known a lot longer than I have.


I thought it came on in a jiffy.:D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Shut up Patrick

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Seems the new vendor has a solution for better wifi!

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

erm .. Sebastian

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

They using an antenna rather than a nail with some wire wrapped around it?

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

the nail was for the cable connection, the wifi was 2 lengths of wool

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

yep...sounds like another superdud lol

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

its pretty hard to set up though

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

im sure it is....plug...bb signal cable....network cable

u think this one will work properly???

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Wouldn't go near a superhub for as long as i can avoid it.

Its sitting under the TV gathering dust lol

I asked the VM Tech support guy if he wanted it back and he said no lol

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

So I'm on 50mb with a VNMG300 using an airport extreme and express, all works well, lovely jubly...

Don't want a super hub but would like to go 100mb. I know I Can order on line for free but how do I go about sorting it so as to keep the VNMG300. Do I email Neil Birkett, call ??? I Have read through this thread but not 100% on how to achieve this...

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

I'm in the exact same position, same gear also.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Been waiting a long time for my area to get 100mb (Chesham,Bucks) but even know on the site area where it says check when it will be available, Chesham isnt on there, but Amersham is?
Does that mean Chesham is also available? If I goto try and upgrade through the website itself, I dont have the option, only upto 50mb
If I ring up do you think I will still get the free activation etc?

---------- Post added at 12:09 ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 ----------

No worries, I just rang up and got it over the phone, no activation fee set up etc, and will only cost me around another £7-8 a month extra on top! :D

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Well rang tonight, basically got nowhere spoke to cancellations as well. Could not even do the free upgrade 50-100mb. Said it would be another £13 a month and was no help whatsoever in keeping the VNMG300.

I have booked online for the free upgrade and will try to contact again tomorrow regarding keeping the VNMG300. Failing that will email Mr Birkett, there is no way the engineer will be leaving with my existing modem. Would rather stay on the 50mb...

Ended up going for the smaller TiVo on the call, moving existing V+ to another room. Install was free could not get without paying the £50 though. Nothing extra a month, which was the clincher for me...

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

If the engineer needs to take a modem back with him I have an original ntl 3Com CMX cable modem in a cupboard which I will gladly give him if I can keep the VMNG300...

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Well so far for me it has been terrible. Am getting about 64mb down and barely 1.5mb upload, no that isn't a typo on my upload speeds. Had engineer around twice now, rang them up a few times and they have no idea what is going on. Other day was told something about how the Motorolla equipment is playing up and they are looking for a fix. The engineer who came wasn't even sure if my area has become 100mb which is odd as why the hell would they sell me this product otherwise? Doesn't explain how the hell my upload has gone down from 5mb to 1.5 though and that is all they can offer me right now as far as an explanation goes... So far not so great for me.....

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb
 

Yes I am, I am trying to get hold of a VMGN300 (I wasn't home when they came to fit 100mb so they took my old one away) in the hope it will help but I've got a feeling it more of a network issue.
