Always been the case

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

yep

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Thanks. So the question begs, is it worth running the SH2 in modem mode when it arrives?

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Thankfully no sales of new additional tiers prematurely, in a similar manner to how the old 100/10 tier was done.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

When sales of additional tiers are done in upgraded areas, it's dire anyway!

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

That depends on what you want to do with it. Anything straightforward shouldn't be a problem. If you were already running in modem mode and are happy then just carry on the same.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

I look at it the other way round and say shubs should always be used in modem mode and only revert to router mode in an emergency/last resort.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

No surprise that they're conveniently now putting bundle price up £3.50-£4 per month at the same time as the 'free' upgrades.

On the bright side, it's an extra chance to re-negotiate.

VM will be getting a TiVo box and a SH2 back in Feb if they don't haggle.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Let's not generalise. Additional tiers are not the same as uplifts.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

My upgrade to 150Mb went live today.

Your lucky. When the emails were sent out promising this up comming upgrade it was stated on the my virgin media website it would be "before December"... I just looked today and now it says "Your speed boost will be ready by the end of March 2016."

So, once again, it seems Virgin have lied about their upgrades.

:rolleyes:

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

It does say on the postcode page:

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

They haven't lied, they made an estimate and it changed. These things happen.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
 

Seems to happen an awful lot were Virgin are concerned.
