I was going to be cagey then I remembered:

Tom Mockridge, Virgin Media CEO, said:

“In the coming weeks we will announce that from next year we will take our top small business speed to 300mbs. From next year we will say to small businesses and home office workers that they can have 300 mbps. That will help entrepreneurs across the UK.”

Ah, so does that mean you have to be on a "business" package or not? IE it won't be available to residential customers who work from home?

Can't see a need for 300meg for normal home users anyway mind.

Re: Hub 3 channels?

There's a bit of a difference between residential customers who work from home from time to time and home office users, people who work from home either as part of a home-based business or for an employer and based from home rather than an office.

Reading the quotes this is a business package and cannot be added to residential packages. For a residential customer to do this they'd need to have both a residential contract and a business contract at the same property.

Indeed also on VMB's website here.

Last conversation with sales was a February launch of the new business services at 100 Mb/s, 200 Mb/s and 300 Mb/s all with fixed IP options, which are currently only available to the 50 Mb/s service supplied with the SH1

Kind of off topic, I remember reading a while back that VM were looking to "match or beat" the current upload on FTTC.

Does anyone know if this is still the plan or was it just rumors in the first place?

Re: Hub 3 channels?

That's very interesting.... as I just had a load of instability with my (business) SH1 losing and re-gaining network connection and resetting several times in succession - it was stable before and is again now. this started about 20:55 and stabilised around 21:10

I wonder if they send out reset signals to all devices to force them to check for new firmware and they all reset ?

The sh1 wouldn't have been getting new firmware

Mine hasn't, maybe it's just the trialists' hubs?
