Virgin Media Speed Upgrade

[Hangman]

So before you sign up for a new 12 month contract, look at what deals are on offer for new customers and ask them for the same deal.

Can you get me a referral discount?

Make sure you check your account pages, I managed to get my upgrade early after a DF member said to look there.

Just ordered my superhub, apparently my area has been done already.
Cheers for the headsup.

I upgraded recently to fiber-optics here. Does any of you use bit torrents? I don't seem to get higher than 1.5Mb/s download speeds, so looking for some pointers in the actual torrent client settings, everything else I'm sure is in order. I use uTorrent.

Look at that up speed - you jammy twat!

Yep, this is good for me, as I often work from home, and I work with big-ish Office files.

The check on the web says that it is in progress and due to complete by end of Sept. Couldbe any time now. I will be going from 20 to 60 I wont be getting a new router... I suppose I just have to wait for the email to tell me that its done...

Logged on and arranged delivery of superhub, got txt this morning confirming delivery today. Didn't show, no ticket in door (i was home all day anyway) and yodal website says it was on the van this morning and back in depot at 6. Don't use them.....

Turned up the next day and very easy to set up. Dont like the wireless setup for MAC filtering but other than that all good. Getting about 50M now.

Thought it was just me that thought the MAC filtering was a bit faggy.
Seems a bit backwards.

They've done that on all three occasions they've had to deliver to me, total shite!

I finally got VM yesterday. Speed is perfect except the superhub. How shit is the range on that?

Interesting note, the VM engineer said they are doing 200-300MB trials at the moment. No idea if its true or not..

It's probably true but trials don't mean anything really. 200 -300Mbits would probably be a natural progression. I wouldn't expect to see something like that until long into 2014 as they're only just rolling the 120's out.

Have you tried changing the frequency to 2.4.gh

Have you tried changing the frequency to 2.4.gh

Its already set to 2.4 m8. I was going to change it to 5ghz but my wireless channel changers operate on that and i dont want no interference on them. I think we'll get 200mb quicker then we think, i know for a fact BT are offering 200mb on 21CN at business level at the moment.

5ghz is worse, less penetration, less crowded frequency band yes but when I tried it I found myself better off on 2.4 while making sure I picked my channel carefully. Not with a SH mind you, you would be better off using it as modem only and finding a better router.

Yeah this is on my imac, which is upstairs from the superhub..



However if i directly connect to the hub i get 105 down and 9.5 up.

Need a cheapo wireless router, its a pity none of the sky ones will work with it :@
