No sign of doubled upload here yet, but had double download since last week (pretty much bang on 62.95Mb/s which is the full 66000000 bps I've even had speedtest results just over 63Mb/s but I doubt it's accurate there as that is over the max in config.

I guess the upload doubling is on a slightly different schedule that's not been announced as everyone seems to be sitting on their old upload speed (or even slightly less in config, I'm getting 2.90Mb/s instead of 3.33Mb/s that I had on 30Mb!)

I feel VM need to think more about upload, their 10:1 ratio already seems pretty out of date when BT Infinity 80Mb/s users get 20Mb upload. I think it should be 10:3 giving an 18Mb upload on 60Mb and 36Mb on 120Mb. With upstream channel bonding 4 x 20Mb channels I don't see why that's not possible as it is a shared service as it is already. Then when VM release 240Mb (with 72Mb upload) or what ever they could introduce a Super Hub 2.0 with even more upstream bonding capability to cope.
