Superhub : 60mb upgrade today

[stedaman]

Hi

I had a visit today from an engineer who upgraded me to a superhub for the 60mb broadband package. I tested while he was here and told him I was still on 10mb after the superhub had been set up. I was told that the superhub would keep ping checking and gradually increase it's speed itself.

I have been checking every so often and after a few hours still have the same speed as my previous package 10mb.

I just wanted to know if this was correct or should I be ringing up Virgin so they can resend the activation or something?

I was also going to try to reset the superhub.

I read from another forum post about checking the settings of the superhub to see if I have been provisioned correctly.

Thats a 10Mb provision (Max Traffic Rate: 10240000 == 10Mb)

Cable doesn't need to "settle in" or anything, its not ADSL. The update should have been instant, to the best of my knowlege. Sounds like you were fed some moo-excrement to get the call closed.

Try rebooting the superhub (power off for at least 30 seconds).

If that doesn't work, I personally would call back.

Yeh reset the superhub and it's still the same.

So I guess I gotta ring up and they will be able to sort it via the phone and resetting the superhub again?

Yeap, they should be able to send the 60mb config file to your modem without any issues.

As said above call up C/S and they should sort it right away. I'm amazed at how much BS comes out of these engineers.
