If you actually download something from a good big site what kind of speed do you get then?

I wouldn't just go on what speed tests to see actually speeds.

Just under 2.4 or just under 3.6MB/s as posted in 1st post = 20Mb/s or 30Mb/s tiers.
Never in the middle.
Its Wednesday so its 3.6MB/s as per first post.

Well its Friday evening again.
and the speed has not dropped

So thanks.If they increase the channels to 8 from 6 then that extra 100Mb/s of shared speed will hope fully stop the other users from over loading the connections.

Cheers (Hope to have high speed saturday as well.)

Now ive unsubscribed from topic the emails will stop.

Its randomly going from 20Mb/s - 30Mb/s type speed teirs.
Upload remains a constant 2Mb/s which is better than the 1Mb/s upload of 10Mb/s.
It was a free upgrade, No cost. It would just be nice to have FIXED speed again.

Missed the shipping window for Saturday so wont get the part till Wednesday.
Bank holidays suck.. they won't work them.

see ya wednesday.

How did you get the free upgrade?

Im On VM broadband again for 12 months.
As I live in Bournemouth not Christchurch, FTTC from BT does not exsist.

I havent read the whole thread but they'll only upgrade you to what you are due. i.e if you was on 10 or 20 they'll give you a free upgrade to 30. If you was on 30 already they would have upgraded you to 60 and the 50s they are banging up to 100.

Yes I know that. I went though all that With customer services over a week and 6 days ago. ILL repeat I "ONLY POSTED" what "I DID" 1 week and 6 days ago.
Because I was ASKED to post how I got my free Upgrade.

The "SOLD" term is used when some one is happy with What is offered..

Back to topic... Of... if I got unstable 30Mb/s BB Upgrade
Final Test today Of the FREE upgade.
