It would be nice to see a little increase of some sort hopefully they wont take months to roll these new config files.

Still a bump to 40Mb would be nice! I guess people in the know cannot say too much, like usual, there's probably an NDA on the upgrades VM are doing.

Be a tad more than a 'slight bump'.

You get nothing as part of the smaller increases as the 30Mb already has 10% on it, but do look forward to a speed increase next year :)

Which is exactly why VM are pushing the rate cap from 102.4Mb to 110Mb, you will see over 104Mb after.

great, i could have kept my vmng300 and had a free speed boost that worked :spin:

I can see them turning 100meg into something silly (150/15?) to one-up Infinity and 50meg turn into something that matches Infinity.

I think 50 will just see the 10% fluff on top so instead of 53mb max it will be 55mb I suppose unless they have some tricks up there sleeve

Ignore DOCSIS1 (10 +20) because VM do and you have...

33Mbps nnMbps 104mBPS with nnmBPS costing ~ £7.50 more than 33 and £10 less than 104.

To coin an (idiot) phrase - do the math.

Currently 50Mbps is poor value over 30Mbps imo and if 30Mbps had been announved at the time I'd have taken it when upgrading from 20 rather than upgrading to 50Mbps.

I'd far rather they sorted out the oversubscription issues than pushed headline speeds higher. I was told that my area upgrade was complete but almost immediately it became just about as bad as before - a single 100Mbps high volume user can easily stuff up the current low capacity local pipes. I'm obviously no network genius but I think if asked I could have predicted that no sanctions, unlimited 100/10 on 200/18 pipes would lead to this in some areas. I'd just have hoped I didn't live in one but sadly I do.

50Mb is already capped at 53Mb and is receiving a different upgrade.

You should come and live in my area dude, when I rang up the other day they said the utilisation on my UBR was negligable and I was the only 100mbit user on it (not that I believe them) but perhaps that is why I have always got my max speed (up and till now :D )

it would be nice if they made them 80/8 and 150/15, it ain't gonna happen though. I can see it going to 60/6 to make it more of a jump from 30 but still significantly less than 100

That would be the sort of increase I'd expect to see. You're lucky that your area isn't busted - around here you'd probably only get the 10Mbps I downgraded to regardless of which on you picked. I guess they'll sort it out eventually but their track record on theses issues isn't good.

Just to clarify 100Mb is not getting uplifted to anything bar the 110Mb downstream to give extra fluff for overheads, so no point in speculating on what it may or may not be going to :)

All other tiers, however ;)

I wonder how much fluff you could download in a day with an extra 10mbits?

I am guessing upstream is left out in the cold as normal?

Is there a time frame for these minor updates ? :monkey:
