thanks dude, I have got something to look forward to now. Traditionally they have done us in November over the years. I can remember getting a xmas card donkeys years ago from them saying i had a free speed upgrade from 3mbit to 10mbit :)

Re: Downstream channels

Ipswich has been pushed from Dec 11 to Nov 11, still unsure if I'm going to upgrade from 50 to 100. Wouldn't want the Superhub and still think the price hike from 50-100 is a bit too much! Decisions decisions!

Re: Downstream channels

A tenner or 40% more cash for double the speed and immunity from the Detrimental Usage Policy for now - a no brainer to me!

Ahem, immunity from STM yes, the AUP/FUP/DUP? Heh ermm.... If anything a single user being able to use up over 50% of the local node's bandwidth is more likely to get them hit by DUP.

Nope 100Mb customers aren't covered by the DUP at this time.

Stop thinking about the technical side of things and think about the marketing.

Well that's why I use this forum! I had presumed the conditions would be the same as the 50Mbps, in that case like you say a tenner is a no brainer! Hopefully I'll be able to keep my current modem though.

If those effers downloading like mad at 100 meg were on my segment were doing so without a FUP in place, I would raise Cain with VM. What would be fair about a FUP that would be unfair to 50 meg users?

Re: Downstream channels

Well then, looks like I'll definately be taking up 100mb alongside my profile 17 FTTC. Simply so I can cane the hell out of it - I get about 15TB/month allowance on the far end and nothing to use it on!

Re: Downstream channels

Seems some areas are getting 100mbit turned on without any work been done on downstream capacity.

Aside from my upload congestion I seem to be suffering from downstream congestion now, I had 4 channels prior to 100mbit availability and still 4 after. Also only 2 upstream channels when some other areas have 3 upstream channels.

How do VM decide who merits extra channels? I ask because I know that an area with both less customers and utilisation then mine has 3 upstreams and 5 downstreams.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 16:10.
