Will that cope with 100mb or will i have to pay for a superhub?

Your VMNG300 will work, but in the long run you will need the superhub because that can use 8 down channels. You can use it in modem only mode if you already have a good gigabit router.

Re: New Rollout timetable

I'm on 50Mbit and I have a VM300, If I want a Superhub (modem mode), do I need to upgrade to 100Mbit?

Re: New Rollout timetable

No, you can pay for one or one will be issued when you get the uplift.

I have the Virgin Medea 256 modem, will that be ok when the 20 Mb speed update is rolled out in my area?

They will give you a superhub regardless.

Re: New Rollout timetable

if 20mbit stays on docsis1 which I think it will, then your modem would work but I think as the poster above says they will force a superhub on you.

May 12, love living under the croydon area, seems the network round here needs alot of work, im still get the 1.75mb upload. my 50mb broadband has been great though, i think the area im in isnt overly used. 50mb pretty much all the time!

Yes.

You did notice this thread was about the release of 100Mb though, right?

IE It's not the over 70 page speed doubling thread.

I thought 20mbit was on docsis 3? When they were rolling out 50mbit a few years ago they said that once the rollout had been completed they was going to move all 20mbit users onto docsis 3 to have alleviate the congestion on docsis 1

Re: New Rollout timetable

20mb is spread across a mix of the legacy and overlay networks depending on area and demand, it doesn't require DOCSIS 3.

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:07.
