Vigin media 100mb broadband upgrade today :0)

Thanks for telling me that without that gem of knowledge i would have felt empty inside.

Did I quote you? No, so fuck off

Anyway, we all know Virgin's piece of wet string doesn't stretch to North of the Border, serves you right for buying a cheap house

The only traffic management 50MB customers get at the moment is those on the new upload speed (5MB) get their upload speed reduced to 65% if they go over a 6GB upload.
Sorry, that should have been reduced BY 65%.

i used to work for them until recently. we had to do our best to upsell customers and the main deal clincher was no traffic management or shaping whatso ever on 50mb. they used docsis3 exclusively for their 50mb+ customers and now have started to move 20mb onto docsis3.its going to get rather crowded on docsis3 soon.
in my experience the people most likely to upgrade were techie savvy guys using newsgroups etc...who knew their stuff but i wouldnt like to go back to their premises after i was made to promise them the above. i hope the ?100million they are spending on their network helps because their fibre network is a shambles.

i just feel sorry for anyone who upgraded to 50mb with the promise of unlimited up/downloads because they have been let down, and now the traffic management will only get more strict to cope with the increased contention on docsis3

Absolutely. Anyone labouring on the premise that VM won't start management on the XXL and XXXL (it's time they started naming these sensibly!) tiers are on a hiding to nothing.
