Still, not use in higher upload speeds when you have STM anyway, just another way for you to get speed capped even quicker.



Have you seen VM's track record for keeping with dates
Current plans only include 20Mb/s migrating to DoCSIS 3.0.. But do you really think VM are going to continue to buy DoCSIS 1.0 equipment?

They will invest only in D3.0 going forward so will migrate more and more onto that technology as it offers the lowest cost per port.

Been told 'no plans' so far, but you never know with VM, change their mind more than a woman with PMT.

I remember them not being able to upgrade to docsis2 because most of the network couldnt handle it, due to lack of maintanence(sp?).

Been told 'deffinately not happening' to upload going up on the lower tiers though

I wish more would ring in to complain as 10 or 20 people on here complaining is a drop in the ocean, to get anything done you need a lot more people calling in to complain about their speeds and maybe then something will get done.

The problem is that VM now assume anyone calling up to complain is just after a discount, because so many people do it.

Not that I'm blaming those people getting discounts, mind.

Then if those people back down and accept a discount then Virgin have won, if you ring up to complain then you should have the integrity to follow it through.
