virgin double speed

[oneman]

what a mare, clever marketing campain then, they must have new they were never going to be able to come up with the goods, now a lot of people has upgraded expecting the "double speed" and they have us now tied into a contrcat, then when your coming to the end of it they'll be promising the double speeds, all though something is weird, I'm on the 50 meg, and I've been getting 7 - 9 meg downloads on some torrents which is strange.......

you know that torrents and newgroups are traffic shaped ?

if you are on 100mb then I didn't thing they are rolling out 120mb till next year ?

So the double speed will just mean a £10 reduction in your bill.

Yep reduction in price and 20mb faster taking it up to 120mb but now instead of July it says "October 2012 and December 2012" also noticed their taken Usain Bolt off their site, is that because he may not be the fastest anymore?

Apparently anyone with so called loyalty discount, want be able to get speed double until they drop there discount

Damm, I see they have got rid of Usain and new schedule has my area pushed back from July 2012 to next year now.

 

[dibbers]

I don't get it, :|

I've defiantly got the 100 meg as pulling 10 meg of the newsgroups and yes as stated puling that off on torrents as well (10 meg download), so I've gone from the 50 meg to the 100 meg (maybe even 120).....speed test confirms that as well..strange how I still get the "your area is going to take longer" and yeah traffic shaping I know will come into it.....but results and the like state that I'm on or around the 100 - 120 meg from them....

Only thing that hasn't changed is the "upload" still 500k

[dibbers]

LOL!

That's the thing that's puzzling me, here's the config page, and according to that then it's locked at around about the 50 meg service.



(sorry highlighted the upstream, it should be just the downstream I meant to highlight on the pic above)

[dibbers]

hmmm.....it simply can't be.....I can't compute.....

 

[BIG-HOL]

result for me today aswell, had the superhub activated the other day and was still only getting the 20mb, so give them a call today and they said when the superhub got activated the speed should of increased, but it hadnt, so he had a look and upped it to 60mb which i should of been getting, so im a happy chappy today as i thought with the set backs i wouldnt be getting that speed till earliest december now, so worked out spot on for me...

say nowt dibbs mate enjoy it if your getting something ya shouldnt be for free!

Hi gents I should check your bills online as i was on 10mg and dobled so i got a superhub and a speed test showed me as getting 60mg it should have 30mg I then had my online bill notification and they were charging me for xl £60+ instead of £21.50 so I phoned them and got it back to L @£21.50 so check your bills asap

[dibbers]

checked my bill and all is fine, checked speed test and the like and it's just getting faster.....not complaining like....

 

[jamesyboyjim]

maybe its part of the testing process for the upgrade? see what peoples lines can happily already do? fook knows lol

 

[dibbers]

Just with it being on a 50 meg config that's all, keeps throwing me, how ever, just keeps getting faster... shame they won't do the upload for me, must write them a letter...lol

 

[chookey]

Looked at my online bill, £40-25 for the 50meg. Double up put back to possibly next year so gave them a call.
Pointed out to them that 60meg was only £27-50 on their website so why was I paying 40-25 for less speed. They upped me to 60 for 27-50 a month and I have noticed the increase but why do we have to ask for it?

Been a customer for 9 years and practically have to beg for a price reduction even though its' obvious I am paying far more than the current rate for broadband. They are offering up to 100meg for £34-75 a month so how many more chumps like me were/are still paying top whack???

 

[dibbers]

see they have locked us out the "advanced" settings.......:|

 

[Spectre]

What software version Dibbers?

I'm still on V5.5.2R30.

They can't do that surely, it's where the modem mode setting is.
