Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps
Yes, it works in modem mode. I think *only* in modem mode, but it's not 802.3ad, it's just round robin, so won't work with Roughbeast's Asus router.
You need a proper router like a mikrotik not a consumer grade one for RR support. |

Your logic is the same as ADSL/VDSL ISPs used to use to say people couldn't be trusted to use their own modem or router - think of the support effort! |
Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps
Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to support 802.3ad link aggregation

Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps
The US has allowed people to use their own modem for as long as I can remember, certainly back before VM even released the SH1.
There was a new law in 2020 that forbid them for charging modem rental fees on a modem you own ( https://www.engadget.com/tvpa-bans-i...213955005.html ) but prior to this people were still able to use their own. Back in 2012 the replies here were discussing it: https://superuser.com/questions/4444...ernet-provider It's not something that's only appeared over there since the TVPA act came in. |
Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps
I didn't say it was a new thing. But it's forced by US regulation that doesn't exist here and was originally aimed for cable TV:

Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps
The situation in the US is quite different. Cable companies have much larger subscriber bases there, and they frequently add on lots of extra charges and fees, as well as complicated tax rules making the final bill very opaque.
Virgin Media has never charged a monthly fee for a specific piece of equipment, so I don't think there is as much need for regulation here. |
Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps
Would a phone line be classed as a specific piece of equipment?

All the models I have seen so far don’t have a VoIP port anyway so phone line would no longer work :( |

My brother-in-law lives in Connecticut (and has for 10 years), and has just bought a place in Hampshire (he’s retiring next year, and coming home), and he’s paying VM half of what he pays his US Telco/Cable company. |

You would suspect wrongly - he gets faster broadband, and he doesn't subscribe to Films in either country, and he says the channel choice is fine by him (he says a lot of the choice in the USA is just re-runs).
