CompSpud   10 #1 Posted July 18, 2012 Has anyone got it yet? Our modem restarted lastnight to install the new GUI. Did a speed test this morning,  http://www.speedtest.net/result/2070076542.png  Not bad to say im running off a 100mb switch, Gb switch coming soon .  I think they are testing the connections since one min i get 30mbps then 80...  Lets hope it settles down in the next few days.

sheffeeld   10 #2 Posted July 18, 2012 Had ours a few months... do you have the correct modem for the new speeds? As soon as we requested the new hub and got it installed the speeds were already doubled... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sheffeeld   10 #7 Posted July 18, 2012 Why the poor upload speed?  Virgin currently is in the process of changing the upload speeds, I currently only get 3mb on my 60mb connection... apparently that should change to 6mb soon, but even that's not great...

Bonjon   10 #12 Posted July 18, 2012 Just rang Virgin. Its going to be upto 18month untill we get our upload speed doubled. Rage!   Ouch  I'm on DR and love the 10meg upload. I could upgrade to the 'what your line can handle' package for £35/m and given how close I am to the cab I think it would be in the 90's down but TBH 40meg down is fast enough. Upload is what i'm looking for these days so I can stream out to my mobile devices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
