Vigin media 100mb broadband upgrade today :0)

[carswaps]

Just upgraded from 50mb to 100mb Virgin media broadband today..............well impressed so far

[stimpy]

Toying with this but can't see it being worth the extra tenner a month. Very happy on 50mbit and not being throttled for the time being.

As soon as 50mbit start getting treated like 10 & 20mbit connections then I'll upgrade, not sooner.

I do a lot of downloading via Astraweb using SSL conection and being able to download a dvd in 4 minutes is worth the tenner to me

[Zoots]

10mb upload - that's fucking brilliant.

[spookythang]

Ooh you are in West Yorkshire, might have to have a look see if I can get it. Are there any hardware changes or is it done behind the scenes???

[carswaps]

Just swapped out the modem and D-Link router for an all-in-one Superhub
He tested the line, changed the attenuator for a +5 and then had to get Virgin to connect it to the network via his hand held tablet.
Took about 20 mins

*sigh* my mobile broadband solution doesn't always seem so great. I am happy when I see a steady 400kb/s

[pctuner1984]

So wants that then 48 quid a month for just broadband can download a film in under a minute bet 100mb is impressive

[tigro]

50 isnt currently being throttled as far as i know. unless the T&C have changed?

[spookythang]

50 IS being throttled I'm afraid.

Alot of moneys for a service that you wont be able to use for long before they start fecking with you

Maybe but not on port 443

Grabbed loads over the past few months and it hasn't skipped a beat.

[biggy7]

sweet mate!

still rocking 8mb here lol

[pctuner1984]

I've had lots of different experiences with their throttling on both ssl and standard newsgroup ports during peak hours there not throttling anything other than peer to peer and services like bt. Can see why there doing it. But they did increase the upload to 5 mb. Wich is nice of them lol they will screw you at some point what other uses would you have for 100 mb broadband lol than download movies lol 20mb covers most everyday use

They arent hitting me and i downloaded over 500gig last month

[Realist]

Wish I was a virgin ummm sorry a virgin customer

[Hangman]

Not available in my area yet

They are throttling all torrent and usenet downloads at peak times but it you change the port number to 443 you should get the full speed again.

[carswaps]

Yep SSL and 443 for me
