When i was at school 2 x 1 was 2

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

I know, but I thought 3 x shub1 would just be over kill. Although now you mention, it might be enough to make the wifi work :D

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

:D

But 2 x zero still equals zero

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

such wise words

Plus, two wrongs don't make a right.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

Rang those nice people at VM today and asked if the 30 to 50 speed upgrade could be brought forward - the answer was yes! No change to contract; no change to cost. An engineer was also booked to 'check my power levels'. Can someone tell me what's involved and how long the bloke will be here please?

Oh and thanks VM!:)

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

Despite my upgrade being listed as between January-June 2015,I asked for my upgrade up to 152mbt and to my suprise I got it. Speed test on JD's auto speed tester saying 160mbt download and 14mbt upload.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

I don't know why they felt the need for an engineer to do that, that can be done over the phone by getting you to navigate to http://192.168.100.1 but either way it should be a 5min job unless there's actually an issue, in which case it'll be a 5min 10s job.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

Thanks Kushan :). Yes, I did wonder why someone needs to come out. Oh well, musn't grumble; to be fair VM did the speed upgrade and are sending the engineer so I'm happy.

Just like the VMNG300 was "good for" 200Mbit/s, except that it wasn't...

Superhub 1 + Superhub 2 = Superhub 3.

Combining the best bits of both:

Wireless performance of the SH1

Pricing of the SH2

And perhaps the feature set of the BT Home Hub.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

how do you know? Was it ever tested because they refused to send the config for 152mbits down to me unless I took a shub.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

The very fact you state, that they refuse to provide 152Mbps on it.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

true, I would have liked to have tried it though

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
 

Well it only had 4 D/S channels so it certainly couldn't have done more than about 200Mbit really, could it? And that's a good ol' theoretical maximum, we all know what that's like when it comes to wireless or DSL, so I would imagine that real-world performance on DOCSIS isn't as good as laboratory results, either (not that I'd know, or anything).

I'm sure it could have handled 150Meg, but they were bound to want rid of them at some point. Less to support, even if the modem itself was solid. When I was there, we were given a list of supported modems and anything older was just replaced, even if it was still working fine. Teryon's (Didn't see many of them, they seemed to have a habit of catching fire), SB 4100's and previous, any Ambit modems prior to the 250, any STB's at all that people were using for their internet connection and so on.
