There were 3 areas due to be updated in may, one of them being Teesside.

2/3 of those have gone live.

Teesside is still waiting, so id assume between bow and the end of the month/beginning of june. *******s.

Does anyone know when Warrington will be upgraded from 4Mb to 10MB?
I just got my free modem and wireless kit today which I needed for the upgrade.
I have installed them but I am still on 4MB at the moment and Warrington is not listed in the update schedule.

I actually live closer to Manchester than Runcorn.

You will be upgraded with Runcorn as they also come under Baguley.

Luton upgrade in June :) shame Watford was first though :(

Does anyone know when these upgrades take place in any given month for an area :confused:

Well there's a week left in May and Cambridge and Middlesbrough are still to be upgraded. So don't expect it to be upgraded any time in the beginning of June.

Thanks, I give my modem a reboot at the end of june then :D

Will have a proper check later.

upgraded here also in TS8 with steady 1.22mbs

if any1 was wondering, the "traffic shaping" on 10mb seems to be around 2mb
as my max download speed was around 300kbs after i was "shaped"

thats pretty good compared to the 100kb/s once im capped on 4mb ...whats the upload speed like once your capped on 10mb?

whats the point in having a 10 meg connection when you cant use it after down loading 1.25 meg :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

erm, you can use it - it drops to 2.5Mb/s.

yes you can still use it, just at a slower rate ;)

You can download when you are not there, you know, if you work nights start it up before you go to work - it should be finished when you get back - ????

According to Virgin's "evenfaster" web page, I'll have to have a cable modem to get the upgraded 10mb speed (I currently get broadband through the set-top box). Today I made the mistake of dialling 150 to try and set this up. According to the call centre chap, who put me on hold for 5 minutes to find this out, I can have an engineer out on the 10th of June to install the modem, but I won't have any broadband at all until that time. I declined this generous offer, as it sounds like utter cobblers to me. Has anyone else heard of this? Thanks in advance for any replies.

In a word, no.

Comms speeds are normally quoted in bits per second e.g your router is rated at 54Mbit/sec, your link to VM is rated at 10Mbit/sec. Divide by ~8-10 to get the speed in bytes per second (8 bits per byte plus ~1-2 start / stop bits).

Your speed tester is testing THROUGHPUT (end-end transfer from disc to CPU to network at the host, across the Internet and from router to CPU to disc at your end).

Traffic arrives at your house at a maximum speed of 10Mbit/sec. In practice you may find it difficult to achieve that sort of throughput because
a) the speed of your radio link depends on signal strength, with a weak signal the radio may have a lot of error checking and correction to do. I've seen 54 Mbit links run at 5 Mbit/sec in difficult conditions.
b) the throughput speed depends on the performance of the target machine; the CPU has to process all the incoming traffic and write it to disc. You may find that an old and slow laptop can't keep up.
c) there are various processing latencies e.g it takes time to find and open the file you are writing to, it takes time to write things to hard disk. It's not known as Windoze for nothing ..

It might be worth testing the download speed with the laptop near the router, that should give you an idea of whether the bottleneck is the radio link or the laptop.

HTH.

My gut instinct says Baguley at very short odds to be done by the end of the summer - which summer though??
