Nope still cannot see a 40

I think that one was wishful thinking on some peoples part, don't you.;)

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

It was you that said it though?

:confused:

Thats why i am confused

Thats going to upset those that hate the shub :)

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Will that still require an engineer to install?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I have the netgear WNR2000, will this be able to handle to 100MB double up

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Yes I did and posted incorrectly my bad,:dunce: but now we have it from the community forum which is going to correct.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

that is the biggest load of poo i have ever heard. In order to get that result do you think they tested it as rigourously as they did the shub before it was released?

I think it is something they made up because they want everyone on the shub. If they honestly believe the vmng300 cant do more than 92mbits (less than half it's rated throughout) then I would be asking some serious questions.

I think that has now got to be my new favourite pile of poo quote from VM, it even beats the "unbeatable wireless performance" one.

I said that would upset :)

Bet this forum as seen a spike in usage tonight :)

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

From how I read it, most people won't. I would expect that you'll only need an engineer install if it's identified that your signal levels are wrong etc.

Even if you do I wouldn't expect it to be a chargeable visit

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I expect it will have something to do with the VMNG300 inability to use more than 4 downstreams and I expect in 18 months time that will have been rolled out making the VMNG300 struggle on the network.

It may have been tested at higher speeds but probably only with 4 downstreams, we are not senior management so those decisions will have been made at a high level.

As with the 30Mb rollout the majority just got sent the Superhub.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Many thanks

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I am sure a consolidation of tiers will happen and 20mb will be the base tier.

Or, offered a deal to go higher still...;)

In effect merging the two tiers together.

100 is the platinum tier. VM are just nudging it to 120mb to stop a few complaints to the call centres from the highest paying customers wondering why their speed isn't being doubled too. Of course there will eventually be a higher speed and when 200mb and higher is released, those wealthy young rednecks on 120mb will want to upgrade to the fastest and pay the premium price for it. Lucky gits. I remember when I used to have money to burn!

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Given no roll out dates for the speed doubling have generally been announced I suppose those who are already paying for the top 100Mbit tier could potentially find themselves paying more than those who were just paying for 50Mbit but were then doubled to 100Mbit at no extra cost. That is unless, on the date that the first 50Mbit user is doubled to 100Mbit, all existing 100Mbit tier subscribers have the price they pay reduced to the same as those on the "50Mbit doubled to 100Mbit tariff" until they are upgraded to 120Mbit (which could be optional because some might want to remain on 100Mbit). BenMcr mentioned some price reductions might occur for eventual 120Mbit users, however I wouldn't think it fair if existing 100Mbit users were paying a premium for 100Mbit while those that were doubled to it, from 50Mbit, were paying less.

I suppose, at some point, being a VMNG300 user with 100Mbit, I shall need to ask for a Superhub. Will they accept posting it or will I need an engineer to visit?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Just to point out no plans for 200Mbit yet
