RFoG will not receive the 100mbs upload?
Lots of people had the 100mbs upload today.
but from what I have been reading those on RFoG connections will not be getting the 100mbs upload due to the limitations of the technology used..

Does the HUB5X not use this, and it has a 10Gb/s port so not sure how it cannot get 100Mb/s upload as you need a certain amount of upload speed to download?
When VM did the 2.2Gb/s tests (that may launch sometime) I wonder how much upstream was used during the download tests, I bet it would be over 50Mb/s.

Nah, it comes in a fair bit below 50 Mb/s. The RFoG customers don't get the Hub 5x, that's for the XGSPON trialists.
I'm a RFoG customer and have the hub5?
Correct for now.
TBH I just Googled it and seen the same yellow connector on a little box.
I am in neither area mine is still Coax and no Pseudo VOIP landline.
That little box isn't the Hub though.
Im on XGSPON, hub 5x and still only 52mb up >.<
Did you reboot?
Yeah about 30 minutes ago? There is no sync speed or anything on my router though, it’s totally different from other virgin hubs I’ve had
PON kit doesn't show how fast your service is as a general rule. The shaping is done at the other end.
You also aren't provisioned in the same way as the cable modem folks. Completely differently in fact. For some reason they've decided to copy the cable tiers: only thing that comes to mind is that they plan on offering that and charging extra for symmetric.
The engineers I'm sure want to let it rip, the beancounters want to wring every last penny out of customers so testing a speed boost service seems possible.
As always with VM hoping and praying that upload doesn't become a major part of purchasing decisions.
Either way you're on a trial not a production product so nothing everyone else sees on their services applies to you. I fully imagine a fair amount of manual work was done to set you up and manual work will be what changes your tier, not the same configuration management system that pushed the cable change.
Looks like i had the 100 mbps upload after a reboot. Noticed my upload qam still at 64. Is this normal?

Are you part of a big block of RFoG or a small infill do you know?
Valid reasons to ask. If they've deployed it to RFoG larger builds all over the place that's a questionable one - selling 110 Mbit over 150 Mbit of capacity doesn't strike me as smart. If they've deployed it to those small areas that are using inverted nodes and hanging off HFC areas that can't have 3.1 upstream due to the RFoG that's an error.
Did the latency calm down at off-peak times? I can think of the obvious issue, capacity, but a few others that might have gone wrong specific to RFoG.
I am on Coax so got the 100Mb/s, that was a quote as someone earlier said they were not to get the 100Mb/s uplift due to limitations or such.
