Upload speeds will be 3 Mb/s for the 30 Mb/s service and 5 Mb/s for the 50. So the same as residential, and these will follow the upload upgrade plans being rolled out at the moment.

10Mb upload? Already rolled out for residential in my area but no change for VMB

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
 
Sorry didn't ask about the 10 Mb/s service... I assume it should be uplifted to 1 Mb/s. The 10 Mb/s service is still going to be offered, so I don't see them not changeing to upload on that too. Might be worth a call to them about that.

If it happens then it'll just be a config change, not much point in calling them..

Also if I call them they might start charging me for the fixed IP's ;)

I wonder how much they'll charge for upgrading?? Just that they wanted £20 just for setting up caller-ID :rolleyes:

Wow they activated Caller ID for me free! There is a monthly charge, but I didn't have to pay an activation fee.

Upgrade costs from an existing package or where cable is present is £49, or £99 if it's a new install. Upgrade does involve an engineer visit.

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
 
Yes it is available without a phone line. £29 for 50 Mb/s and £24 for 30 Mb/s

all of these are 3 year contracts.

Its coming, just a small delay. I got my briefing on the new services during the week.

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
 
How small is the delay this time? I was originally told Jan/Feb which was then pushed to May and then June and then most recently was told 1st July is the definite launch.

I know this is the danger of disclosing the dates. But as Kymmy points out this is now 18+ months late.

Are you able to confirm if the delays are due to buggy Superhub firmware? Everyone seems silent when this is asked, yet some people have said the business device will be different, however to the untrained eye the repeated delays in the new business services do seem to be tracking the delays in new Superhub firmware fairly closely.

On Cable, everything's always 'Coming Soon'.

Surely you've noticed that by now. :)

The Superhub has given us things to consider.

Re: Superhub & Virgin Media Business
 
Is there any clarity on whether the Business SuperHub & residential Superhub are one and the same device?
