300/350M availablity?
Anyone know how long after an area uplift the 300/350Mbit services become available?
Had a 2hr or so outage last night, now have 24DS channels and 3US (Up from 12/2) site still shows max of 200M available.
Not even sure if it would be even worth upgrading from Gamer to 350M depends on what it would do to my overall package, that said I'm impatient so if it makes steam download faster

Re: 300/350M availablity?
not much, your upload speed will obviously stay the same and the only time I get to benefit from the increased download speed is on torrent and in steam. I had a 5gb update for a game on Tuesday evening and it quite happily ticked along at 40.9MB/sec. I took a screenshot to wind some friends up (including Kush) but I have deleted it now.

It's more around if it would cause a contract term renewal for the entire package which I don't want as once the introductory offer ends I'll want to drop the TV most likely so it might be better till wait until that happens to change the broadband.

Same happened for me a few weeks ago, but Vivid 350 still isn't actually available here yet. Wouldn't hold your breath.

Re: 300/350M availablity?
Seems the higher tiers have gone live in a number of areas either today or very recently. After getting a CMTS upgrade in November, I've just now been able to upgrade to Vivid 300. Family who live in a newly built out area that was limited to Vivid 200 now also have it available. Worth checking again now if you've been waiting for it.

definitely worth enquiring about because you have got to remember that it is going to be 350mbits provisioned at 400mbits which going pretty much a 100% speed increase for you.

Finally on 350Mb now, can't believe it took so long. Roll on the next round of speed updates so I have to wait another year or two to get that update.
