That's awesome! I'm glad the download limits are increasing too. I'm currently on 30Mb.

@Pumpy: this is exactly what they did to me some time ago, doubled the speed from 2Mb/s to 4Mb/s . As you can imagine the difference was imperceptible. Slow before, slow now

Good deal for 50mbps subscribers. We get the most substantial bump.

Yes, because comparing an ISP in one country to an ISP in a completely different one makes total sense.

That sucks. |
Yep, it sucks.
Got this email:
| Quote: | Good news - we're giving you even faster broadband, for less.
You're already getting the UK's fastest widely available broadband, and starting this summer we'll be starting the roll-out to boost your speeds from up to 100Mb to up to 120Mb. We'll also be lowering the price of your broadband package in April to match the price of our 50Mb Broadband XXL packages.
These are nice extras we do to make you smile. We call them Virgin Media tickles, and we only give them to people we know and like - our customers.
Our ongoing commitment to offering the UK's fastest broadband.
Virgin Media offers the fastest broadband speeds in the UK*, as proven by Ofcom for three years in a row. And we're committed to keeping it this way. Which is why we're upgrading our award winning fibre optic network over the next 18 months.
As part of this upgrade, you may have seen we'll be doubling many of our customers' broadband speeds. But, because you already get our fastest broadband, we're upgrading you to up to 120Mb and giving you a discount instead.
So whether you love streaming HD movies, ruling the gaming world or downloading tunes in super quick time - you'll soon be able to do it even faster and for less.
You don't have to lift a finger.
The 120Mb upgrade kick off in the summer and will have a slightly different roll-out schedule to our other work. We'll let you know nearer the time when to expect your broadband speed boost. In the meantime, see what you can do with faster speeds at virginmedia.com/evenfaster.
We'll be in touch in a few weeks with more details about your price reduction, so there's no need to call us, or do a thing – except keep enjoying what is already the UK's fastest broadband.
Kind regards,
|
But I'm not on the 100Mb package. They can give me 120 if they want though.

My mate who is on the 50 package got an email, howver I am on the 30 and did not. I suspect the upgrade will only be for those on 50 and to 'encourage' the rest of us to upgrade. Only time will tell however, judging by Virgins history I doubt they will give anything away. Only BT beat them for utter greed.

there pushing upgrades at the mo so that they can get every one on Superdud. Make sure if they upgrade you to do it all for free, including switch on.
I've also turned the wireless off on Superhub, forcing it too modem only, since it's got shit coverage and has firmware problems sending data through it's firewall on the default channel. Especially a problem if there are a lot of hubs near by in the same street. I'm using my old n rated D-Link for wireless. It works a treat.

yes I believe you can change the channel. It's buried deep in the menu somewhere. Apparently 5 0r 7 works? I tried and it fixed some issues, but still had problems with some devices like tablets using wireless g at 2.5ghz and so on so just found it easier to disable the wireless and use my own router. I've no problem with the coaxial connection, it's just the tech inside the unit is piss poor.
Don't bother phoning tech help, it's overseas in India and they have no idea what there doing!
