SEE, I was not the only one..Deleted the darn email as I always do. Don't need read emails cluttering my pc up..:) BUT Virgin should not say DOUBLE speed. Misleading in it..
Anyway---I'm quite happy at moment as I'm getting anything from 70mps to 75mps and 5.8 up...Had to reset everything by switching all apparatus off then putting all cat 6 cables into my Switch then resetting everything....

No proof = Diddn't happen

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Sorry to ask this if it has already been covered but ...

I am on 152MB and I currently have a SH1 and I can get over 160MB wired but my Wifi varies between 70/90 and 110MB - on a the rare good day.

I am due to be upgraded April/September 2016 and am not to fussed by the wait even though new customers in my immediate area appear to be able to get 200MB now.

My question is will I need a SH2 and if I do will VM offer it to me automatically or will I need to push for one?

Please don't advise me to get a router I really don't want one. :)

Yes, you'll need one and it'll be part of the order process whether you do it online or via Customer Services.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Our contract was up so I called Retentions on Monday, negotiated a new deal and was offered the upgrade to 200Mb (in our area it's due between September and December 2016). The guy said I would need a new SH for that and it came today. I was going to ask for the SH and the upgrade as part of the new deal but I didn't have to.

I haven't swapped the SHs yet. I am wondering if the settings file from SH1 is compatible with SH2, I hope it is but it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't.

Thanks for the quick answer Ben. :tu:

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Nope, they aren't compatible.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Dammit. Thanks Ben.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Yep! I didn't get the 200mb config until I registered my superhub2AC! :)

(I get over 200mb via wifi using a netgear AC6100 mini adapter so I'm well chuffed!) :)

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Did you get the upload increase as well? Ours has stayed more or less the same.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

There isn't an upload change going from 152Mb to 200Mb. They are both 12Mb upload

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

But free Wifi users get 30Mb upload :rolleyes:

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

They deserve it. Just called VM again, on a different matter, but asked at the end of the call, "when do existing customers get the 70Mb upgrade"? "Oh you should have it" she replied, different CS, different answer.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

I am currently on the 152MB tier and I get 160MB download speeds when I test it, so it's actually 152 'and a bit'.

Will the new 200MB tier be 200MB 'and a bit' also?

Sorry, I did look through this huge thread but couldn't see that asked before :)

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

I think the config is set at 220 but not sure.
