:rolleyes: hardly ready is it

Maybe all the massive increases in congestion all of a sudden were because of the increased speeds?

No, wait, that would make too much sense. Never mind.

that is a nice speed jump for you. Did you already have a shub?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 
As I am in one of the towns to be the first upgraded, can I ask if I will have to reboot my superhub to get the new speed (I'm on 30MB now) when the upgrade's done?

I only ask because I had to do that with my old Virgin 255 (I think?) modem when the 4MB -> 10MB upgrade was done, and don't know if the s'hub will need the same doing to it. Thanks.

The superhub should automatically get the speed increase

Althought I'm in 60mb my upload is only 3mb reading somewhere it should be 6 shouldn't it?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 
I noticed on some 60Mb configs the upload isn't increased, which is expected as the upgrades aren't completely done with yet, but the upload is in fact 2.97Mb/s which is less than the 3.33Mb/s you get on the current 30Mb package. I would have thought even if the upload upgrades weren't happening in conjunction with the doublespeed that they would at least leave it at 3.33Mb/s until the 6Mb upload is ready.

I am in Dover and there's no sign of double speed just yet but we've had 8 DS channels since January. so hopefully it wont be long now.

Have you called Yet about price increase?? You get 60m sooner plus discount..

so areas will go to 8 down channels before getting the down double then up will be upgraded when up channels are bonded to 2 or more?

General Maximus 07-03-2012 00:19

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 
i am getting excited now. I can't wait to run some speed tests against peeps with shubs. 4 channels vs 8 channels, let the battle begin :)
