2Mb Upgrade
 

Hi


Ive had a search and couldnt find anything.


Are V.M going to be upgrading the 2Mb BB service to 4Mb in the near future?


Thanks

don't think so eventually they will its only a matter of time but i don't think in the near future. they got the 10mb roll out and 50mb roll out maybe next year or something they might up 2 to 5

I've just gone from 20Mb to 2Mb (as part of the 3 for £30) after feeling the financial squeeze and finding the 2Mb like dial-up now.

I rang up customer services to see if they had any offers for existing customers and they said no. All the offers on the website are for NEW customers. Which i think is pathetic!!!

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

How is that related?

lol, i seem to have gone abit off topic, but i was just making the point that there are a good few package offers for new customers but nothing for existing customers.

Back to the point topic though :D

Surely the 3 for £30 package you are now on is a deal?

First Virgin have to finish the 4mb to 10mb upgrade, then they have to start the rollout of 50mb, then they will start sending modems to 20mb customers to get them onto the same platform as 50mb.

All the above will take time just look at the speed of the 4mb to 10mb upgrade.:erm:

Any upgrade of 2mb will be a long way off in the future if ever.

Its only a extra £7 why not upgrade to 4Mb or 10Mb if your areas been upgraded

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

2mb aka 1mb should really go up to 5mb, im on it and its crap but it works. It doesnt really do virgin any favors when you tell people you have a 1mb virgin connection it sounds as bad as it is.

Still i get my moneys worth, just constantly kick the ass out of it :)

Are you on a STB?

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

Not required dude, the 50Mbit platform is backwards compatible. Only peeps needing new modems are those on the non-EuroDOCSIS modems. :)

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

Might speed the wish for a 2mb upgrade then;)

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

Can but hope! :)

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

Nope but now its the new tv season i find myself on 1mb all the time and if i've got a few people over its not unusual to get a comment on how slow my internet is compared to their dsl which leaves them with a bad impression. 2/1Mb is awful by todays standards even for a entry level product.

But at the end of the day i watch whatever i download in the evening anyway so if its downloaded in 10minutes or 1hour it makes no difference

5/10/20/50mb is a good range of products, and makes sense its just a matter of time

Re: 2Mb Upgrade
 

I can never remember which one is which

STB BB areas are DOCSIS and pure cable modem areas are EuroDOCSIS,or is it the other way around?

Either way anyone on 20Mb shoul have a dual mode modem anyway
