Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

Hi there

I was recently moved from 100mbit up to 120mbit, and I heard that the upload would be moved from 5mbit to 10mbit, just wondered where can I find out when this will take place exactly? Would rather not ring CS.

Thanks in advance.
Regards

If you've gone to 120Mbit, then you'll have a 12Mbit upload immediately.

I am getting 120mbit (12mb/sec) download speed, but my upload is still at the old rate of 5mbit (620kb/sec)

Or is 12mb/sec speed actually what 100mbit gets?

Log into My VM and it'll tell you what you are on

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

I've logged in and looked and checked and it says my area is ready.

I just did a speedtest and I'm still getting 100mbit with an upload of 5mbit

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

No, you need to see what it says before that. For instance mine says:

Which means I'm still on 100Mbit.

The postcode checker doesn't have the 120Mbit schedule yet.

Anyway, I've just checked and as far as I know only two places are currently piloting 120Mbit - Hertford isn't one of them

Thanks for the reply. I've checked the message and it says I am ready for the double speed boost, and that the engineers have completed work on the fibre optic.

Rang CS and spoke to some guy in India, to be honest I couldnt understand him that well (I normally can) but the line was quite bad, but he was saying something about calling me back tomorrow, he said that my area is ready (he can see that) but for some reason its not moved from 100 to 120 yet.

Dont know if he was fobbing me off though, not sure if he'll ring back tomorrow...

btw, my message in the green box shows this:-

I then went to the 'check' page and thats where I got the info in my previous post.

Will just have to wait & see, I'm surprised the checker doesnt have the 120mbit schedule yet? Any idea when the 120mbit is being rolled out? if my area is ready it might as well be rolled out to us now...

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

My post code checker has me down for between December 2012 and February 2013. This is a change form the previous March and June 2013.

So, estimates can change. Also work on the network can become apparent well before upgrade day. For instance, today we in Coventry got put on to 6 downstream channels instead of 4.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

No you're not.

12MB/sec is 96Mbit.

The 100Mb service from VM is actually 111Mb so you should get at least 13MB/sec.

If you were on 120Mb you'd be getting around 16MB/sec.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

Okay, thanks for the clarification :)

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

Are these speeds about right for 120u and 12d ? Still looks like 100u and 10d to me.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

yeah thats 100/10

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

Again, the postcode checker doesn't have the 120Mbit schedule on it yet

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

Speedtests tell you the speed of your connection to the internet, not of your local line.

If you want to know what service you're on with absolute accuracy look at your modem status page, not some internet flash speedtest.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
 

speedtest is very reliable though, even VM ask you to use it to do a speedtest...
