Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
Hello all, first time poster here although I must know some of you from Virgin Media's own forums. These are my current results:
Lovely upload speeds I get - maximum 0.4Mbps and that's quite late at night. I realise my area is still being planned for the 5Mbps upload upgrade, but I won't see any of it regardless as I can't even reach anywhere near my current 1.75Mbps upload cap.
I've been told there's an upstream utilisation issue in my area but I take that with a pinch of salt. An engineer who came round my flat to check out this issue tried a VMNG300 cable modem on my line (after checking that my line was ok) and it immediately got great upload speeds of around 1.5Mbps whereas two Super Hubs we tried got 0.3Mbps...

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
Had ours in a few weeks now and it's been all good. Often do the Speedtest.net and it's 50Mb download. I'm in Bolton.
Glad to see back of BT who were truly truly shocking beyond words.

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
I HAVE 50Mb and its fantastic for giving good results on speedtest.net.
Its useless if you use xboxlive,VOIP, stream HiDef YouTube vids.Its almost as if Virginmedia dedicate unrestricted and boosted access to speedtest.net. But throttle everything else, of course they wouldn't do that to make a crap service look good would they?

Largely fine for downloading, complete balls for VoIP and gaming.

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
I have had no problem with VoIP or gaming. You hear of a lot of folk having trouble. They complain about jitter particularly. I guess it varies from area to area.

Been a lot of vm vans around recently (again?) but noticed that my ping has dropped notably to 10/11 ms or so
