L package 10-20 meg upgrade?

Chimpanzee · 19-03-2009, 15:56

Does anyone know when virgin are rolling out their upgrades to L package customers? Their website is already advertising M with a 20meg connection but I'm still only getting 10.

Broadband M will receive a speed boost to 10mb and the price will be increased.
Broadband size L is staying as it is for the time being, though.

So your speed is fine!

I am going to be peed off if they increase 10 to 20 for free. You have only just been upgraded from 4 to 10. If you want 20mbit pay for it.

No he just misread the link.

good, i'll calm down now

So Virgin Media are upgrading 2mb to 10mb? If they have the capacity to do this then why do they choke peoples speed when they download a certain amount? Surely if their equipment is capable of giving 10mb as basic it can handle it anyway.

General Maximus · 20-03-2009, 21:08

it can't handle it, that is why they have got docsis 3 which is supposed to be the bess knees yet they feel the need to stm the 50mbit users by 75% when they said the network is so top notch that there wouldnt be any need for it.

i think they should give everyone 200mbit so they can advertise they are the fastest isp in the country and then stm everybody by 99% when they download 1gb. It will be alright, it is the Ts & Cs

There is no STM on 50Mbit, and nothing has been announced about what the STM will be

The 75% figure for XXL is completely made up!

i know, but given that all the other tiers have a 75% reduction you would think it is only fair that we get the same. Going from 50mbit down to 12.5 sucks ass so much. I think 20mbit would be more fair.

We will only know the STM if and when they publish it until then its all purely supposition.
