Seems to suggest
70 mbps down 5 mbps up
150 mbps down 10 mbps up
200 mbps down 12 mbps up

Sorry to hear. Some things are more important than broadband speeds.... Not many, granted  but some. Health and family are two such things. All the best.

Yes I do, however, until now, no one has said its not public knowledge either.
From the link above (Unofficial I guess) ;
Quote:
Old Speed: 50Mbps [3Mbps Upload]
New Speed: 70Mbps [5Mbps Upload]
Old Speed: 100Mbps [6Mbps Upload]
New Speed: 150Mbps [10Mbps Upload]
Old Speed: 152Mbps [12Mbps Upload]
New Speed: 200Mbps [12Mbps Upload]
|
If this is really the case, I'll be downgrading, since my 152 only runs at 100 atm anyway (due to my network, not VM) and I'm not getting an upload boost.

Same here i don't use the full potential of what i have now so a downgrade and then free or what ever it is upgrade as part of the tier changes will save me money.

IF that is final then the middle tier and only the middle tier looks enticing unless you're a casual user.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
I think theres a feeling that the difference between 150 and 200 doesnt really justify a different tier anymore.
150mb is very enticing now, seems a bit of an oversight.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
Downgrading to 100mb seems like it was the right move after all, pretty tame upgrade but then again its only an extra £20 a year
