I think VM should be doing this way:

10Meg free upgrade to 15/1.5
20Meg free upgrade to 30/3
50Meg free upgrade to 60/6
100Meg 100/10
200Meg 200/20
Back in character and posting silly posts again.

We know plenty of what you think in your dream world. Besides, anything below 20mb is on the non DOCSIS3 platform, and will therefore be kept at their existing tiers/limits for the foreseeable future.

Do you really want to pay the £30 activation charge as well for 30Mb that has been quoted throughout this thread.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

So i ordered 20Mb which will cost me £22 for 6 months, will be installed on 5th or 8th Feb, should be 30Mb/3Mb (as my area has already been upgraded for faster upload) by the time its installed.

Dont see the point of an install since i had cancelled virgin 6 months ago, all i need is the modem really dont even want their superhub.

For 20Mb service you have to have the superhub.

The upload for 20Mb is either 768k or 2mbit depending whether you have received the free upload upgrade yet. You will get the 3mbit upload speed if you have been upgraded.

What service are you on because they don't do 300K upload, not even on the older packages they used to do, if you are getting those speeds there must be an issue somewhere.
