That's how it appears to me, though I guess with VM anything can happen :D

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Almost tempts me to keep my VM service for a few more years now, knowing well enough once I disconnect my VMNG300 it's going to be tough getting it reconnected ever again.

But they'd have to offer a really good retentials deal and just couldn't be bothered.

Try them, they have given me great deals to stay with them.

Like I said in another thread, I'm now on 8 downstream channels, 1 up. Still on 30Mb, my area (Aylesbury) is due to be upgraded April-July. My power levels were high, but have dropped significantly since Tuesday morning, dropping from 8 dBmV to around 2.5. Not sure if its a coincidence, but a virgin engineer was working on the green cabinet 20 yards from my house.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Can you post your old pre 8 channel monitor graph next to the new 1 please for comparison?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

As I said before, they already didn't.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Don't have one I'm afraid, just set up the quality test a few of days ago. The superhub definitely wasn't downloading on 8 channels when I set it up last year.

This graph was before the virgin engineer was working on the green cabinet yesterday and powered it off.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Well if you haven't cancelled yet, just call retentions, and tell them you want to leave. They should come up with a better deal then (especially if you say you are going to Sky or BT).

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I got a feeling the work in my area was done today and they have bodged it up.

12.30am was huge packetloss on udp and all tcp packets were been dropped, I went bed and turned modem off.

Today its down completely and awaiting fix.

When they did the speed uplift work I had several hours downtime during peak in the evening so it wouldnt surprise me if this is another bodge up job.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

As I said before, I've already cancelled. They did not bother coming up with a better deal.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Good.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I know.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

So whens disconnection day qasdfdsaq?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

31st March. Which was the latest day I was supposed to upload upgrades after the third delay.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

You will most likely get a phone call nearer your cancellation day with some pretty sweet offers to stay, I did and it was very tempting but unfortunately for VM, I'd already sold my soul to the devil.

Given your testing of the superhub, it might be worth staying for a couple of free month's possibly.
