The have new VM firmware that keeps a records of all emails send and all files on your PC LOL:p: only joking

I have been told they are compatible with the new 50MB service

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

I thought the new 50Mb modems were supposed to be very expensive, if the 256 is suitable for 50Mb and they are sending them out to every new customer then it sounds like they are just sub £10 cheapo's as usual. :dozey:

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

They aren't. But they have been installing them for a couple of months.

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

If the cheapo ones do the job, is there a need to go for the expensive ones?

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

The current breed of DOCSIS 1 and 2 modems are only capable of speeds up-to around 36Mb.

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

The VM 256 support a maximum of 38Mbps (or something very similar).
They are almost exactly the same as the ntl branded 255 blue ones except the 256 are VM branded and black

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

Mine is a 255 and it's black, Vm branded

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

250 - ntl branding
255 - vm branding
256 - vm branding

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

are you ex tw or ex ntl and a existing customer

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

IF ;)

I suppose the customers who complain will get the real thing, after TS making them jump through hoops of course.

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

The current Ambit modems WILL NOT do the 50Mbps product.

Nor will the current SA modems that ex-tw areas use

Re: Are VM installing the VM 256 (AMBIT 256) modem yet
 

is there any way of getting one of the new modems as a freebee? for no other reason other than wanting a nice new virgin branded modem?? oh and the ntl 250's sell on ebay :D
