We have many people testing this service without the negativity I see on this forum. People have a choice and I'm guessing you won't one of the people to take up this service which is fair enough but I can assure you when it goes live I will be.

I've seen many people complaining (on the 50mbit forum) about the fact the service cripples if you multitask (upload and download at the same time) that would be because 1.5mbit isnt enough to handle 50mbit down while uploading at the same time (thus why they are using S.ack).
It's nothing to do with the current pricing as to why VM wont offer higher upload speeds, its down to the fact they opted for the cheaper ambit modems which have no upstream bonding capability, they should of stayed with the old ones and kept the 5+mbit upload.
Upload is just as important as download and with so many legal p2p services about the people who want 50mbit will require high upload speeds.
You seriously telling me its a serious premium product for that price with low upload AND STM upon launch? (10gb limit)
P.S Your right, i wont, i have 25mbit both ways for less than what VM will be charging for this.
Also have a backup Be line with 2.5mbit upload as well.
Edit : there is so much negativity about the 50mbit product because customers are sick and tired of being ripped off, and no matter which way you put it 1.5mbit upload just isnt a fair ratio and abit of a ****take to say the least.
