Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
yeah, it is weird how there is still so much inconsistency between the tiers. I think they need to take a breath and bring everything into line before they press on with anymore rollouts and ensure everyone is 10:1

Technically no they weren't. 6 months ago was 1st April. The final upload increases happened the month before

There isn't an inconsistency. There is a logical split:
All the pre-April tiers have a 10:1 upload.
None of the current sold tiers have 10:1 at the moment.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
My post was made on 30th September. Edinburgh only got the 1.75 => 5 Mbps upgrade between 27-29th March. Close enough.
And since there was never a 100/10 teir, all 100Mb users will be stuck on 100/5 with an STM down to 1.75/2.5, so technically, some parts are *still* stuck on 100/2.5 which is even worse

There is/was a 100/10 tier - and anyone who upgraded to 100 before April should be still on it. But as we've got over that on other threads several times, don't think it's worth doing so again.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
Nobody could have upgraded to 100 in this area before April because 100 was not available here before April.
50/5 was only completed at the end of March, with STM down to 1.75 introduced simultaneously. 100 came around a month later, by which time only 100/5 was available.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
What kind of speeds should I be seeing with my Superhub stats? I've recently 'upgraded' to 100Mb but only seem to be able to download at 10MB/s.

Re: Where can I find out when my upload speed increases?
I've been on 100 for some time & get good upload & download - The original timescale for the increase to 120 was in the summer, this has been put back I know but is there any way of finding out when (roughly) I will be upgraded I'm in Chesterfield - It don't matter much but I am interested

I hate to be anal dude but as you have used mb and MB then that is more or less your correct speed. You have been provisioned for 100mbits which translates to a maximum download speed of 12 megabytes per second. If you are getting 10 then there is nothing to worry about.

Don't worry about being anal lol. So theoretically I should be getting around 12.8MB/s? I would certainly like to know where the other 2.8MB/s are going as it equates to around a 20mb line.
Before I was 'upgraded' to 100mb I was able to download at 6.4MB/s on VM's 50mb package.

If you're going to be anal (which you weren't by the way), at least get it right!
