Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
If you aggregate at the cabinet, you free up discrete frequencies that otherwise have to be aggregated at the Hub. That leaves VM free to add more channels, as you say.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
I got the free upgrade email today. I'm currently on 20mb & have the old ambit 256 modem. I know I'll need the superhub to get 50mb. How do I get the superhub & will I be charged for it? I think I will be able to self install it. Any help appreciated :-)

Did it require you to take out a new contract?

no you won't be charged for it and normally they provide a link in the email to take you to myvirginmedia where you can activate the upgrade and request a new shub.

.....and a lot lot more! 
For those that weren't following Sparc Consortium's progress > http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.2228.pdf
Thank G*d VM finally managed to implement Split Architecture and Software Defined Networking more intelligently to use OFDM later without changing all those line amps,diplex filters and SHubs in one go!
Of course makes all the dummy guides to HFC topology somewhat more complicated!

True, Horsey. Like a variant of Fig. 2 of the PDF would go into Wikipedia?

Well I was thinking of that but as Carl is more closely involved with SDN for his MSc (and a h*ll of a lot quicker than both of us combined) I thought we should volunteer him?

Right now you have our up to 60Mb broadband. That's really fast, but between May 2014 and July 2014 you'll be able to supercharge your speed to up to 100Mb broadband at no extra monthly cost.

Re: Virgin Media 150Mb Coming 2014
Got an email earlier stating I'd been upgraded to 152mb, not home long and done a few tests. Getting between 135 and 145 down and about 11 up.
Probably not the best time to test though.
