Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Sadly it did happen. Only perseverance on my part helped me win the point in the end.

Reading the Homeworks page now, there is absolutely no indication that those already subscribing to F-secure will NOT get a further free year. CS did acknowledge that the information was misleading.

I am now wondering about approaching the ombudsman after going through due process of course. ;)

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Also when i log into my virginmedia it says that homeworks is £13.99 for 2 years and then £19.99 after i could not get it for less than £20 a month ive even been quoted £28 a month previously.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

If it's only £9.99 extra per month I may take it out for 3 months to try it out.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

£9.99 is just for Homeworks. If you want 300Mb there's more to pay, i.e your £13.99 then, after a year, the £19.99. I'm still happy with it because I get 20Mb up!!

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

I wanted this too but my area doesn't support it at the moment when I called :(

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Neither did mine until a few weeks ago. Hopefully you won't have to wait long.

Annoyingly, VM didn't notify me. I only discovered we had been enabled by typing in my postcode and clicking on a different house number than mine.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

My area should be enabled this summer, however I do not think I will be taking Homeworks+ given I will be keeping FTTC in addition.

Upcoming products also make me reluctant to contract in to Homeworks+. Unnecessarily large outlay for relatively little benefit.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

In your case that makes sense. You must already have at least 20Mb upstream.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

I'm going to hang back for the product they release to compete with BT's G.fast rollout starting later in the year.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Isn't the minimum commitment 3 months?

That doesn't sound like too much of a risk

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

So they're releasing a product alongside their DOCSIS 3.1 modem, not just the modem first?

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Said future product will be DOCSIS 3.0. There is no need to deploy DOCSIS 3.1 for it.

This is DOCSIS 3.0 for example.

VM Ireland sell 360/36 on 3.0, too.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Yeah, with 16 channels I can see them pushing 500Mbit, I wouldn't imagine they'd want to push a whole lot more than that though.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Areas will be on more than 16 by year end.

Re: 300 Mb now connected.
 

Neat. The SH3 can do 24 Downstream, can't it?
