Looking forward to it coming, but hope it is this week. Going out for the day next Saturday in London.

The first batch of people mostly got the email and delivery on the same day, think it was a Friday, just don't install the thing late in the day in case you run into problems and end up without internet as the forum staff may have gone home! It is not like installing a SH, can take longer and you will need to read the instructions or you will be scratching your head.

Ahah. It ain't Compal, one is Arris and the other is ??

To be honest, I was upgraded to 210Mbs and I only use it with Speedtest

I will read instructions clearly. As long as I can get it working within 12 hours I'll be happy.

Think mine took 40mins or so, but i would have been lost if i didn't know what to expect with the lights etc.

Does the hidden Forum have some help for setting it up? If so, I'll have a good read there before setting new equipment up.

Yes it will and you will get an idea what to expect when waiting for it to lock onto all your downstream channels.

Why are you all discussing something that's under NDA?

Because that would be a terrible idea from Virgin. You don't do a widespread trial of different hardware, you do that part in a lab and when you're happy, you do a wider trial to ensure it works in the field and the software is correct.

I'm not seeing any awesome secrets here being discussed. Hardly NDA breaking.

SnoopZ · 18-10-2015, 22:48

Nothing being said is NDA really, it goes like this every trial, no specs been posted or pics of our new kit. At least that is my view anyway and I have been in all the SH trials.

All the important main chat floods the trial forums.

A little more info on the modem we got, i shouldn't really be posting this so keep it to yourselves!

State of the art baby this is....

ileikcaek · 19-10-2015, 16:25

^ Is it too late to cancel my participation before I receive that monstrosity?? I think I prefer my SH2AC if I'm honest...

MalteseFalcon · 19-10-2015, 16:55

Might look an eyesore, but I bet it works better than the SH1. Can't wait for mine to come now.
