If it turns out they give the current top tier a free upgrade to 500mbit then i hope they increase the other tiers too, as i have no interest in paying top wack to get the highest speeds possible but still want my current 200mbit tier boosted for free.

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Yeah that bit did confuse me, I can't see Virgin giving 350 customers an almost 200Mbps speed boost for free though

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

from memory VM usually adjusts the lower tiers once the top tier has been given a speed lift so hopefully us on the 200Mb tier will get some kid of uplift at some point.

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

They're currently doing a trial of a new speed tier of 500/35 so my concern was it would be a new more expensive tier rather than a free upgrade for the current top tier, will just have to wait and see.

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Hopefully it's a free upgrade - the novelty of 350 down has worn off a bit for me (still nice to see the speeds) but the upload is quite important as I run several servers behind the multiple static IP option I have on my service.

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Yup it's the upload that appeals to me as I work from home a lot so sending stuff about would be a lot quicker!

I suspect it'll only be available in areas that can support it, or do we think everywhere is up to 24 down / 4 up now?

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Any 'free' upgrades from VM are quickly followed by another inflation busting rise. As sure as night follows day....

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Prices go up regardless of any speed increase.

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Well there's inflation, and VMs version of inflation....

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Commercial business price increases are rarely directly connected to inflation

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

I'll have that 500/35 please. :D

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Going off the other thread it looks like we'll see nearer 550 as it's overprovisioned at 575ish :D

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

Up to your usual grumps l see.;)

Re: Virgin confirm 500/35 tier
 

So what can you do with 500, that you can't with 350? Genuinely curious.
