General : VM Upload Speed Increases

[Carth]

I'm on Super Fiber 50 . . . whatever that is, although I have a faint recollection they upped it to 100Mg?

I get around 87 down and 6.5 up anyway

Log in and check modem config to confirm your speeds.

To be honest I'm ok with how it's working, fast enough for me and what I now use it for (too old to be competitive at online gaming lol), experimenting with various unix stuff on old laptops mainly

daughter complains wifi drops occasionally, think that's more router than virgin though

I dunno, I've got 4x64 QAM upstream channels:



I'm guessing it's still being rolled out. My node didn't even get 350Mbit until a few months ago, so it seems like it's the bottom of the list for upgrades regardless.

20mb upload here after a reboot. The top tier is looking increasingly pointless (for me anyway).

Yes i am happy with the speed i pay for, i can't see the point of going higher, but any free upgrade i will take just like i have for several years now.

Same here but usually VMs 'free upgrades' are quickly followed by an inflation busting price rise !

And you fully know that prices go up each year regardless of any speed upgrades, this is the same for every provider.

And you fully know that VMs increases have been way in excess of inflation, and sometimes more than one a year.

Just like any other provider like Sky, my point being the price would go up even if the speed didn't.

Try another reboot, some people are reporting that they couldn't get it on Saturday but rebooted again today and they now have it.

I rebooted the VM HUB 3 yesterday evening and upload is now 20Mb. Im in the NW9 area. My area hasn't been upgraded to 350Mb or 500Mb though. 200Mb is the max speed available. But i'm very happy the upload speed has been increased.

[SnoopZ]

It is expected over the next few months 50Mbps will be bumped to 5Mbps upload and 100Mbps to 10Mbps upload.

And just to keep Mr K happy, VM have just announced their annual prices rises so he can blame the upload increase for the rise even though prices would still increase regardless of any boost.
