Well there are very many different sorts of tech...

downstream: Max Traffic Rate
287500061

Primary Upstream Service Flow: Max Traffic Rate
27500061

Which is the same as you have posted, yet I'm getting the same or perhaps slightly more than 206 Mb on the speedtest sites.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds
What device are you running Speedtest on?

I get 276 on my PC (wired), 243 on my Android phone (OnePlus 7 Pro), and 205 on my iPad Pro.

PC ethernet wired from primary mesh unit about 5cm from the hub & mobile phone

I have rebooted all devices again, hub, mesh, pc, phone and re-optimised wi-fi on the mesh.

Ookla is giving me approx. 6 Mb more than before the uplift on d/load, upload is unchanged.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds
Talking to a VM sales rep today in my city centre it appears that VM is definitely planning a 2.5GB service. I asked if it would have an upspeed to go with it, e.g. 10:1. He wasn't able to say.

He was trying to sell me VM's current products, but when I told him I was on a nice symmetrical 900Mb with Vodafone/CityFibre, he suggested I watch out for the new product.

I guess VM will be selling it only to those who need high bandwidth on multiple devices simultaneously, given that most people's device network cards and switches max at 1Gb.

My PC is wired directly into our Hub3 - is it possible for you to connect directly to the Hub?

It is, but then the other 55 or so devices won't have internet access.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds
I meant just for the speed test…

My PC and the Google Mesh primary unit are the only things connected to my Hub - everything else is either wired to the Mesh units or connected through mesh wifi.

OK so I unplugged the ethernet for the mesh primary, plugged in the ethernet for PC - and instant offline.

Plugged the mesh back in, and online again, same LAN port on the hub, so that's weird.

Edit

I'm in modem mode/wi-fi off, yet I can connect to the hub using http://192.168.0.1, pretty sure in modem mode it's meant to be 192.168.100.1

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds
The thought occurred to me that perhaps the mesh had reached it's capability limit but it seems the TP-Link M5 can handle a fair bit more.

Each Deco unit is powered by a quad-core processor and contains four high-power internal antennas. The router is an AC1300 device capable of speeds of up to 400Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 867Mbps on the 5GHz band.

Still a bit baffled that the hub4 ethernet port that works with the mesh isn't letting the PC connect directly to it, or the fact it's in modem mode but doesn't require a web browser to use 192.168.100.1 to connect to the settings.

Looks like the 100Meg upload boost is starting to hit residential customers

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds
I am seeing a fair few reports on reddit, so they expanding the trial it seems, or maybe even the start of a phased rollout.

I expect I will get it late as I only just recently got the extra upstream channels.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds
If the upload goes up to 100M then it may make me reconsider leaving them when my contract expires.

Atm, the upload on FTTP is far better, and more than compensates for the slightly lower download.
