Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

If you have an old ambit or previous versions then yes you need a superhub when they upgrade to 60mb

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

What about the 255 would that support the 60 or still have to upgrade to the sh

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

That will need to be upgraded to the shub

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Will the Superhubs be provided for free ?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

i think the 255 only goes up to something like 25mbit

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Any timetable for these upgrades?

(might have already been answered, don't have time to read 4 pages!)

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Over the next 18 months.

Up to 20Mb anything higher and you would need to upgrade to a Superhub.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

It's pretty easy to tell if you'll need a new Modem or not.

The ONLY modems capable of 30Mbit and higher are the Superhub and the Ambit 300 (This one: http://www.techfresh.net/wp-content/...rgin-modem.jpg). That's it.

Any other modems can only do up to 20 at best. Some REALLY old modems can't even do that, but it's very unlikely you'll even have any of those (You're talking NTL 120's and the like).

SO as a rule of thumb:

10Meg users won't need a new modem
20Meg users that don't have a Superhub WILL need a new Modem
30Meg and higher users won't need a new modem (It's impossible to be on 30meg and on an old modem - believe me, I've seen Engineers try it!).


The jury's still out on what happens with the Ambit 300 users on 50meg, but don't be surprised if they need a superhub as well.

IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: MOST of the issues with the superhub are regarding its capabilities as a router. As a modem, it's absolutely fine - and if you have a standalone router (Such as a netgear or a D-link) you OWN it and can continue to use it with a Superhub, just remember that unless it's wireless-N, you won't get much benefit out of your new speeds.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Anyone going to 40Mb will receive a Superhub, anyone on 2Mb or 10Mb can use their existing kit as they will not be upgraded past 20Mb

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

40Mb?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I take you are not reading the upgrades list correctly and it is quite clear.

Broadband Size : S (up to 2Mb) Up to 5Mb

Broadband Size : M (up to 10Mb) Up to 20Mb

Broadband Size : L (up to 10Mb) Up to 20Mb

Broadband Size : XL (up to 20Mb or 30Mb) Up to 60Mb

Broadband Size : XXL (up to 50Mb) Up to 100Mb

Broadband Size : 100 (up to 100Mb) Up to 120Mb – Note these increases will start from summer 2012

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

and where does it say 40mb?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

You have lost me as well i cannot see 40 Mb:)
