Reports earlier in the year suggested an accelerated roll out. https://advanced-television.com/2020...abit-roll-out/ So, we can look forward to universal 1GB coverage pretty soon. I wonder if a switch to DOCSIS 3.1 on the upstream is in the pipeline. Realistically, to appear to be moving forward, VM needs to be able to deliver at least a 10:1 service next. |

Thought it's worth posting the source of the Express story which is the Virgin Media / O2 site here

Eventually figured out how to get a 1 gig tier, but it takes clicking the right 'choose this bundle' option and then finding the customise bundle option. The entire process for a new customer to order anything is utter dross compared to the Sky and BT new customer flow. VM's marketing team needs to calm down, they change the bundle selection and purchase flow so frequently the damned thing barely makes any sense these days. In fact the bundle selection carousel is b0rked in Firefox. |
Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
Adding 1gbit to the ultimate oomph makes it go from £89 to £111.
I think I'll pass if it ever rolls out here. |
Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
i don't need really fast speeds as I don't download or play games i'm only on 50mbps and that's only reaching 43.38/upload 5.70 I check my speed daily because my pc seemed to be slower than it was and just renewed my contract so if they cant even get my speed right how on earth are the going to achieve 1gbit

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
Hm, 1 gig "getting faster" but we've had no particular timescale or schedule on it so far so it's kind of meaningless. I have no idea when VM will do it in my area, this press release perhaps means it will be quicker than it was, but I don't know how much quicker (1 year? 1 hour?) and I don't have a frame of reference in the first place anyway so it's all meaningless.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
Despite the blab all the rollouts over the last 12 years or so have taken 2 years from starts to finish. Certain areas ay be brought forward but their are inevitably unexpected delays which in turn delay other areas. It is swings and roundabouts. I have always fallen in the middle so when a new tier or upgrade is announced around October and they say "we aim to get 25% done by Christmas" which sounds great, I know it is always going to be about a year before I get it.
