probably those on R29. The call for testers hasn't closed yet... next week it is

Are you sure? Still no update from Mark Wilkin, 6pm now, doubt he's going to bother this evening, even though he was online about 15 mins ago...although, there's always tomorrow, if they work weekends.

Hope so. Their must be a huge list of customers wanting to test already, if they keep it open any longer they might as well just release it.

Update from Mark Wilkins

Quote:

Our initial testing of R30 has been positive and we've seen no show stoppers so far. We're having a meeting on Tuesday to talk about ramping up the testing towards a full beta trial in the near future. We'll post an update on Tuesday once we know more.

Thankls

A meeting? Seriously, anyone would have thought they were planning a military operation. It's firmware.

It's getting even more ridiculous than it already is, more waiting? I've already gotten gandalfs beard from waiting for R29, now even more delays I may as well go and get myself a complete wizards costume to complete the look.

Why couldn't VM close the beta call yesterday and release it to all that signed up! Does this now mean we'll see an upgrade and a full upgrade to all SHs next week or will it be another few weeks so beta can overrun

They already have customers testing R30! no wait, "we're pre releasing the firmware so people can use their own hardware" erm are they forgetting about the wifi issues?

How many people have beta firmware in modem mode and how many are testing the superhub as a whole?

You appear to be under the misguided delusion that there is some professional planning involved in the beta testing. That certainly wasn't the case at all in the initial round which I took part in - nobody was asked to test anything specifically and feedback in the testers forum received no acknowledgement at all from anybody from VM. It was a complete and utter shambles imo and lead to the public release of an entirely untested R25 - a minor bug in the version being tested had been fixed but the major ones hadn't.

thenry · 27-08-2011, 21:47

What a joke! Has VM got anyone part of firmware building or is it all on demand?

@ jinxed - any updates mate?

jinxed · 27-08-2011, 23:19

No m8, latest in the beta forum is the post you referred to form Mark Wilkin.

Its D-Day...

Broken Hope · 30-08-2011, 13:39

I signed up for the beta test and it looks like they pushed out R30 about 10-15 minutes ago.

thenry · 30-08-2011, 13:46

Postman Pat hasn't delivered mine yet

Are you now in the private sub forum? anything been mentioned?

Not a big deal just a question, why on some does it say EU Docsis 3.0 and blank on others?

HD Boy · 30-08-2011, 14:24

just been upgraded to R30

thenry · 30-08-2011, 14:36

Does the firmware upgrade reboot the SH? Does it matter I'm using the connection, will it interfere with VM upgrading my unit?

kwikbreaks · 30-08-2011, 14:39

Apparently they are upgrading all the R29 testers and then the new signups..

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...11/td-p/677941

The upgrade will cause a reboot. I'm not sure if they'll check if you are using it first or just press ahead with it regardless.

It does state R29 Beta testers will get it first before rolling out to new sign ups.

Good news, we're pushing ahead with a full beta test for R30 today. We're working to upgrade all of our current R29 beta testers first and then everyone who's signed up to the most recent call for testers. Once our new beta testers have been upgraded we'll give them access to the beta test forum so they can post their feedback.

I have the new R30 now.
