Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Is there still upload STM after a certain amount? I've just done 5 days of constant uploading and I wouldn't want it if it had some.

From what I can gather, some new tiers had it after a short while not being STM'd

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

I have hammered the upload to no end since i got it and i can't see it being touched one bit. Before on 200 when i used to screen share on skype and stream over steam i would notice a quality drop after around 15 minuets, now i see no such drop and the quality overall of both has gone up massively.

Has anybody managed to order Homeworks+ 300Mb in the 06 area as I am being told it's unavailable at the moment.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Well, That's good. However, I wonder if it will be like previous rollouts? STM introduced after a while?

Is the firmware on the SHub 3.0 still a work in progress?

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

The upload is what i was also interested in.

Since im starting to use the cloud now more and more for backup purposes the extra upload is great.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Well they whacked it on vivid 200 pretty quick. I will give it a month or two before they whack it on 300 also.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

I only found out about this "Addon" today.

Very interested in the 300mbit upgrade as I use quite a bit of bandwidth in the house.

But not so interested in it with the additional stuff like F-Secure and Tech support... as I have an IT Background and am fully capable of doing these bits on my own.

Is there any intention to release the 300mbit without the extras?

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

I'm officially the biggest idiot I need to learn to read the small print lol, i ordered Homeworks £9.99 without the 300mb upgrade. I have cancelled it now. Homeworks+ is not Available in my area yet.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Doubt it unless they want to, let's say annoy a lot of people.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Well they would surely annoy the business customers who have STM put on from 6pm-8am 7 days a week and pay £80+ for the same thing?

Maybe not. Either way time will tell.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

I would have some strong words for them, that's for sure.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Business customers are not paying "for the same thing", they're paying a premium for a business grade service - including better support, better SLA's, etc.

Different terms and conditions as well. If you are a business owner and your broadband goes down, you get priority service techs to get it fixed. If you're using a residential service and you phone up saying your business is suffering because it's down, you get told you have to wait like everyone else.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

Okay so although the business service is running along the same pipes as res, you get enhanced care? I know you get 24/7 support.

I remember Igni saying that a business connection does not get anymore in regards to SLA's. Maybe I read that wrong, if so I apologise.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
 

They might not get better support for individual faults , but business customers do affect the priority of area faults. When I worked on outage we'd sometimes get told something like "this issue is only affecting 3 people but one of them is a business customer so it's a P1".
