They usually give you a bit more, to make you feel happy/stop complaints/keep the ASA happy :)

I'm also getting 38.5Mb upload after rebooting my hub and it's being discussed on the VM forum here

Saw it but others have replied below, your upstream is higher than expected like the others. :)

---------- Post added at 12:36 ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 ----------

Could we change the title to 'upstream upgrade?' to help others?

My guess now is the 350 tier will get a free upgrade eventually.

Aye Up 24-04-2019 16:52

Re: Upgrade ???
 
I have the upgrade too.

Quite pleased with that, no need to go for the higher tier coming out soon, unless that has an even higher upload rate.

KillerCroc1 24-04-2019 17:29

Re: Upgrade ???
 
im sure 350 will be upgraded to 500 for free with 35 upload as SnoopZ said

Synthetic 24-04-2019 18:02

Re: Upgrade ???
 
If they're looking to stick with 10:1 then surely 500 would be 50 up?...

Also anyone on lower tiers seeing an upload increase? (IE 100meg to 10meg up?)

---------- Post added at 18:02 ---------- Previous post was at 17:48 ----------

Can't edit for some reason.

Seems to be struggling here, highest i've seen is 26-28 up

Nothings for free with VM. A price rise will soon follow, I know their ways... ;)

Synthetic 24-04-2019 19:55

Still on 4x 16qam, maybe why I'm struggling to hit 30

No change here on 200meg.

Re: Upgrade ???
 
Telford area isn't on 35Mbps speed boost yet cos my mate has rebooted his hub 3 on his 350/20 and still at 20Mbps upload.

Interesting so they've also boosted the 200meg package from 12meg up to 20meg up, i wonder if they've done the same for 100 so it's 10 rather than 6?

I think you have misread something.....

I haven't had any boost at all.

telfordcable 25-04-2019 11:13

Re: Upgrade ???
 
I think Virgin did say it will boost upload speed on VIVID 350 only

I've always had 386Mb or more downstream, but never over 22Mb up. For that to happen your config would have to change. There is built-in leeway to account for natural loss, but that is allowed by your config.

EDIT. I have the upgrade too. https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2019/04/10.png

This is confirmed by my config. Primary Upstream Service Flow
SFID 1553
Max Traffic Rate 38500063
Max Traffic Burst 42600
Min Traffic Rate 0
Max Concatenated Burst 42600
Scheduling Type BestEffort

Anybody having speed issues on the 350mbps broadband I'm getting between 100-200 I always get 350-380 down

What area? Looking good here (other than speedtest.net caching)

have you run a speed test this evening? If there was a congestion issue this evening it should have cleared by now.
