I'm surprised the aren't adding the long talked about 200/20 package on top of the boosts and charge more for it.

I thought Virgin say extra speed for free with no extra charge but they lying again. I will cancel VM in my own rights if they did price rise again next February 2014 on my 120Mb

A VM staffer has said that the profile posted by TC doesn't line up with any of the planned downstream tiers. The staffer didn't say anything about the upstream symbol rate - something I was particularly interested in.

I'm headed for 152. Why are they not maintaining the 10:1 ratio? This sets a precedent.

This prediction was made in 2009. It looks like slippage to me. http://www.cable.co.uk/news/virgin-m...band-19091354/

I think that was TC doing some fiddling, trying to make it look like his symbol rate was doubled, when the figure he posted was missing a zero so was 5x smaller

As I've said before, I already had, and had to cancel my service when I lost my home.

What are you on about?

VM always announce package speeds. i.e. 60, 100, 120, 152.

The Max Traffic Rate will no doubt be inline with other tiers:

Tier  Max Traffic Rate     Speed test
100Mb        110Mb           105Mb
120Mb        133Mb           127Mb
152Mb        168Mb           160Mb

An extra 33Mb which looks not bad.
