VMNG300 92Mbit limit
This quote is from VM regarding the double speed uplift.
Quote:
|
We've tested the VMNG300 and it can only support a speed of approximately 92Mb on our network so if you want to get your full speed upgrade you'll need a Super Hub which we'll send to you free of charge.
|
Can anyone from VM please explain why they are making this statement, my VMNG300 works fine above 92mbit.

You might want to post this on the VM forums where they actually have VM staff working in an official capacity.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
because VM want SuperHubs active getting rid of all the old modems that can neither handle docsis3 or more channels.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
its obvious, they dont want vmng300s on the network.
Or more to the point they want 'more' superhubs on the network, so a little white lie helps them on that way.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
They used the same QA people who certified the Superhub as 'ready' to do this test I suspect.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
I thought the VMNG300 didn't have a gigabit LAN side port?

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
just to prove a point I would love them to drop me a 200mbit config file for a day just so I can prove that it can do over 100mbit. I downloaded a substantial amount off newsgroups last week and it held at just over 12mb/sec which is 96mbits without overheads.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
The VMNG300 was used on their 200mb trials.

well they must have been rubbish trials then if nobody got more than 92mbits. VM must have been very concerned that their network couldn't handle 100mbit, let alone 200mbit.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
People were getting around 180 down and 16 up last I recall. Can't find the original references though.
I could be completely wrong, this is all from vague memory. The 92 limit is complete balls either way though. It's rated at 171mbps.
[Edit]
I should point out there were excited rumours at one point that the VMNG300 could be software upgraded to 8 downstream channels (i.e. 400mbit). Not sure if they were ever proven/disproven.

Re: VMNG300 92Mbit limit
Thought as much, amazed they are willing to do such a blatant lie to their customers.

That would be flipping awesome if they did that. Do you think we could do that manually or would VM just over write it with their latest version of firmware when it connects to the network?
Either way, I think we should introduce the pleb who made the 92mbit statement to the dude who was responsible for the 200mbit trial. They must think we are all idiots not picking up on stuff like this.

The VMNG300 wasn't used in the Coventry 200Mb trials. We were given alternative modems capable of 8 channels, which were used. Arris WBM760B was one of them.
I can be certain that it wasn't used in Ashford either. They used a variety of modems including Netgears and Motos, but not the VMNG300.
