Thread: Virgin Media 100Mbps Broadband Officially Launches

  1. 11-12-10, 13:03 #16
    Ojustaboo
    I'm on their 50 mbit service at the moment, an area where 100mbit isn't yet available, received an email yesterday that said,

    Code:
    You're  already enjoying our speedy upload speeds but here's some great news  for you.
Your uploads have just got even faster and it's absolutely free  of charge!
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                 
Why should I care about upload speeds?
Every time you send an email, use V Stuff - our  backup & storage service to upload files
and folders, share your  holiday snaps on Facebook or even tweet, you're uploading.
                                                                                                  
                                                                                                 
What are we doing?
We're rolling out faster upload speeds on our  fibre optic broadband and we're pleased to
say they're now available in  your area. This is a free upgrade for all our customers.
                                                                                                 
Take a look at your new speed here:

Package M/L  Download up to 10Mb, Upload Up to 1MB, double upload speed
Package XL   Download up to 20 Mb, Upload up to 2Mb, More than double upload
Package XXL Download up to 50 Mb, Upload up to 5 Mb, More than tripple upload speed
                                                                                      
How do I get them?
All you have to do to get the new speeds is switch your cable modem off at the wall,
wait 10 seconds and switch it back on again. It really is that easy!
                                                                                                 
We hope you enjoy your faster upload speeds.


    I powered off my modem, went to speedtest.net, and as shown below I'm, now getting nearly 5mbps upload

    Depends. I used to be on VMs 20mbit service which was fine until they introduced traffic management.

    I'm on the 50 service as it's totally 100% untraffic managed, no download usage limits hidden in fine print etc, to me that's worth it's weight in gold and something I would always pay extra for.

    Lucky you if they're in your area... They have certain areas by me where they've got their kit. My house was built about 4 years ago, so they would've have the opportunity to install their kit ready for us, but didn't. So I am unable to get cable round here Would've loved to have had the opportunity to get 50mb (especially the 5mb upload, and no, not for file sharing, just fed up of slow uploads in general

    You still have line rental on top of that tho don't you? Still, not a bad price. Just that an extra 30mb top would be nice :-p
