I don't know if it'll affect anyone else, but when I set my RT-AX88U to 20/40/80, nothing could connect to the 5Ghz at all. Probably just a bug in the router more than anything.

Can get decent speeds on my iPhone XR. Bit more when wired.

500Mb is already out. A new hub will be required only when DOCSIS 3.1 is deployed.

Is 500 generally available yet, or still just on that stupid package ?

Nope you still need to take the Ultimate Oomph Bundle it’s a joke.

Is the ultimate bundle just for new customers?

I already pay close to £99 each month for what i have.

You should be able to upgrade to it, not sure if you need to phone up.

I see there is a Lenovo Smart device or bill credit currently available until tomorrow, maybe new customers only but you could try asking for it too.

Yes phone up. You shouldn’t have to try too hard.

I think it is for anyone - but you need to re-contact for 12 months.

I got it as an existing customer. It worked out less as I no longer pay for the mobile.

I meant the free Lenovo or credit.

I think that was new only for the freebies - I would have gone for the Xbox otherwise which i've seen mentioned.

I was still in contract until November but have just upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package for 12 months and my payments have gone down to £99 a month, the same price as a new customer. I didn't even have to negotiate the price. Just done a speed test 519.26 download and 42.58 upload . I've checked and I still have all the channels including the kids, so top marks from me.

Well I phoned them. VIP customer for 20 Yrs, told to pay £100 for a 2nd V6 box, but they mailed me with the offer and then refused me unless I pay £100 for the 2nd box. I pay £98 a month plus another £21 a month for 2 mobiles, not a happy customer :(
