Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
My 'free' speed upgrade was originally going live at the end of November.
I checked just now and it's available already, however as i get less than 10Mb in the evening i won't bother with the upgrade.
If i did would it start a new 12 month contract?

You have filed a fault report and got money off your bill? I get £10 a month off due to my speed dropping to 50mbit from 100mbit most evenings.

Yes it would but...their is a price increase in February which will state you can come out of contract, so you can come out say 3 months time.

No it specifically states that it does not enter you into a new contract.

On the bright side, it's an extra chance to re-negotiate.

I had no idea they had! when I got my bill yesterday I called them - upshot is 30 days notice and ta-ra! I can't use my line unless I am up at 3am. Some of us work. The problem is not many people round here do and that's why it sucks.

When my SH2 was stuck on 50mbps config the tech agent told me I was on wireless and therefore I should connect a cable. When I asked if the superhub would get 70 in the current config he said yes. Wow, it can defy physics. Awesome!
As it happens I recorded the call. Just incase

The new 150mbit tier has 10mbit upload.

Unless your on the big kahuna there is no point paying for 200meg. 150meg is £7 cheaper and has 10meg upload

That's quite a sweeping generalisation.
Some people might want the extra upload and download and be prepared to pay the extra £7 for it.

Then they have more money than sense. What does 200mb allow you to do which 150mb doesn't? Majority of devices can't utilise these speeds anyway and they make diddly squat difference in the real world.
Once speeds went above 10mb it's all because become a numbers, marketing 'mines bigger than yours' suckerfest.

Just rang up to renew my Annual Line Rental Saver, and was offered the 200Mb - took it.
Two minutes later -

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
I've just registered for our upgrade from 50 to 70 and had the confirmation email. Just waiting for the new config to be available. Not really fussed about the down speed but almost doubling the up speed will be nice. As a percentage increase it's better than the higher tiers.
I'm trying to remember from the last time whether you have to manually re-boot the SH to get the new config or it gets done remotely?
