We're supercharging broadband speeds (Virgin Media UK)

[Sonar]

Supercharged broadband is coming your way

Thanks to our award-winning fibre optic network, we've always brought you the fastest widely available broadband speeds in the UK#. But we know life doesn't stand still. That's why we're supercharging broadband speeds yet again.

-

You've already registered your interest

Right now you have our up to 60Mb broadband. That's really fast, but between March and May 2014 you'll be able to supercharge your speed to up to 100Mb broadband at no extra monthly cost.

So sit back and relax. We'll be in touch with you as soon as your supercharge is ready.

If your from the UK head over to your VM account and hit the Button on your account page!

Depending on what package your on, your going to be getting a free upgrade at no extra cost to your monthly bill.

30 -> 50 (jump 20mb)

60 -> 100 (jump 40mb)

120 -> 150 (jump 30mb)

-> How fast is your internet speed? <-

Here's what I'm hitting atm on a 120mb line with Virmin :-

I'd prefer to have a better upload rather than an increased download speed, but even at the reported 11.5 upload, I barely hit 3.5mb up.

The WIFI wireless tech is lagging behind wired connection (30Gig fiber optic) and 5G mobile connection. <_<

[Allen_Prasetya]

nahh, mine only reach around 150KBps, its unstable too, but i'm glad, rather than no internet at all B)

[Deunan]

The fastest speed we have available here is 300Mbps (30.7MB/s+) Download @ 40Mbps (4.1MB/s+) Upload... The 500Mbps (51.2MB/s+) Down @ 80Mbps (8.1MB/s+) Up will become available in Q1 2015...

Cabled

Wireless

wireless does drop behind a good 100mbs, which doesn't affect me much as only mobile devices are used over the wifi.

Edit

Ide love to have google fibre though :D
