Re: 500mb Question
yeah all they should be doing is sending you the right number of V6's to replace any existing Tivo's

Re: 500mb Question
I've just been hanging about on webchat and CS for an hour to be told that I have to wait for a call next week because it's a different department that's handling V.VIP and they don't have access to it. So I will have to wait until next week.
So far I've had 2 different people on webchat that have told me that I WILL get a V6 on V.VIP to replace my slow Tivo.

I've been on hold with VM for over two HOURS getting bounced around departments. They finally got the right person, put the order on the system and said because we already have a VM unlimited SIM we need to call VM Mobile (on the same phone number!), get a PAC and then call back to put through the VVIP order that's now parked. Still on hold.. Wish I'd never bothered now and I'm presuming the UK team has now gone home so I'll eventually have someone offshore answer and tell me to call next week. Two hours wasted. Joy.

Always best to phone in the morning! and wait a few weeks for things to get quicker.

Re: 500mb Question
Did have a bit of bouncing around and waiting but I’ll be on v.vip from 28th may
Could have had it sooner( as soon as Tuesday) but would rather wait til my sky tv service finished.

Re: 500mb Question
Finally got through, the poor guy sounded frazzled and called me the wrong (two different) names on several occasions between spells on hold. I get the impression they're literally juggling calls. All sorted now anyway, and as we already had VIP + an unlimited SIM it's actually saving us money (89 + 25 monthly vs 99 for VVIP). My modem just rebooted and peak speeds are currently 250Mbps out of 500 thanks to congestion. I can use the fault code for a tenner off, judging by experience and end up with 500Mbps off peak for cheaper than I was paying for the package below before. :p

Re: 500mb Question
Finally got chance to sit down and play properly with the new speed. Here's a speed test over VPN (WireGuard protocol), via my home made Arch Linux router from a 2012 MacBook Pro client (Core i5 3210M, 16GB RAM, running Fedora 30 Linux).
The router is a re-purposed SFF Dell Optiplex 7010 (Core i7 3700, 8GB RAM, Intel Pro 1000VT quad core server NIC) and it maxed out at 20% CPU. So, in theory it's good for 2.5Gbps over VPN. Plenty of life left in it yet...

One of the unfortunate side-effects of DOCSIS, at least for now. Meanwhile our friends in Scandinavia, Romania etc can have symmetric 10Gbps FTTH for 25 Euros a month, or symmetric gigabit FTTH for a tenner.

Re: 500mb Question
JFYI, I have added the 500M prefix to the forum now, and updated this thread.

Why are you paying that much? The VIP package is £129.
