Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

I I'm sure like a number of people run a home server .. the upload is very important to me as I often pull stuff off the server from work etc. I'm currently on VM's 100/5mb and due to various issue & the upload speed considering the jump (after years with cable) to BT.
As mentioned with cloud computing upload is key .. virgin offer so called unlimited online storage but with my key family pics music and video at 500Gb it would be a joke to try to upload hence the server (backs up the family clients etc. as well)

WRONG!!!!
They hope it will get people on to Sky fibre pro with a 20Mb upload.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

i don't believe (even if they can) will give more upload than the ones we have now,at the moment or very near time apart the ones was planned
For normal customers i think will be always 10:1
Can get a business line with VM with more upload for little more cost

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

Even the business service does not have higher upload speeds.

In terms of overall network capacity the maximum available under DOCSIS 3 is roughly 10:1 so that's where it's likely to stay.

I went for 100Mb because of the upload speed.

You might find it more secure, to use a paid service like Livedrive. I use them for all our work files and media. Currently 2.1Tb. You can stream video from them via FTP into clients like XBMC.

Not from BT there isnt.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

Yes there is.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

Care to prove it?

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

Nope. Can't be bothered.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

So basically you cant back up your claim.

also at bt sale page is not there anymore
some i learn today & thanks for point it guys

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

Since when have network capacity limitations stopped VM selling a service. Maximum upstream with two bonded channels is ~ 36Mb so if VM thought they could grab a bit of business by letting a single customer take most of that they would just as they did by selling 100Mb product on 200/18 local pipes.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

At the end of the day VM probably set their network up at 10:1 because that's all they thought would be required. And most people were happy with that. Now that BT are installing their fibre network, they can take a look at modern technology, and the needs of the consumers, and install a network that has higher upload speeds.

It is far easier to install a complete new network that is capable of higher upload speeds, than it is to upgrade an old network. Although I should think VM will gradually upgrade their system on a replacement basis.

On the other hand VM could take the view that 99.9% of their customers are quite happy with 10:1, and not change anything.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

I'd put my money on that. OK so there are some people that need a lot of upstream but I suspect that your 99.9% isn't far short of the number that don't.

Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?
 

PersonallyI don't need any more than the 10mb I've got.
