With speedtest.net, I'm getting:

Download Speed: 33.52Mbps

Upload Speed: 1.97Mbps

Does that look OK to you???
Why is my upload speed less than 3Mb???

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

Because the 30mb service only gets 2mb upload.

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

Cause you are provisioned for 2mbit upload according to the config info you posted earlier.

Sorry must have had this page open for a while before I answered...sorry

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

Just called them again and they said I will get the 3Mb upload speed when my area is upgraded.

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

I'm a bit confused - why would having a Super-hub mean that the speed would be 'doubled' from 10MB to 30MB?

I've just been upgraded to 20MB, but VM called me a week or two ago and offered to upgrade me to a higher speed (not sure what speed) for an extra 50p/month - I turned it down because I didn't want a Super-hub, having read all kinds of horror stories about it. In any case 20MB is plenty for my purposes :)

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

How much extra would I have to pay, if I decide to go for the 60Mb package from the 30Mb - I just want broadband.

Any ideas???

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

I have the 10Mb and they say I will get upgraded to 60Mb!

I have no hub at the minute - justan old modem - which works fine :-)

Unless you are changing bundle/package/collection, your 10Mb service, independent of whether you are on BB M or BB L, will only be getting a free upgrade to 20Mb.

Re: Virgin Media Upgrade

Didn't know that 10Mb users were supplied with superhub! Oh well, I'll be sticking with 20Mb then, usual VM dual standards.
