Embargoed press releases and timed release CMS ftw. Looks like plenty of people knew about it all along

The old modems are capable of up to 50mbps but not in the way VM need them to ensure a decent level of service.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

Its clear to see the benefit for VM, modems using bonded channels will have auto load balancing, currently 20mbit users on docsis3 are assigned one channel and as such can cause balancing issues, I have seen this first hand as sometimes have to hop channels to get a uncongested downstream.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

That's not all though. If you are a recent install of 20mb with a superhub already then you won't need to pay the £30 charge afaik.

No not true, no matter if you are 20Mb or still have superhub, still have to pay activation charge £30.00. Virgin want money just like activation one off charge for 30Mb, 50Mb and 100Mb.
