Now sit down, no this isn't a complaint more of OMG moment.

Monday 13th March internet went down for about an hour in the morning, no big deal it happens but when you know when something isn't right with your network, so off for a speed test of my 1Gig service, directly from router with no other devices connected.

Yikes 105Mbps, that can't be right, so checked the Hub4

So yes an upgrade, pin reset of hub a couple of times just to make sure I didn't get a bad config, nope it's right.

So thank you VM a pleasant surprise, unless you take it back, now if only you would give me a Hub5 so that I can get the extra 200Mbps that is provisioned and will be a even more very happy customer. Pretty please with a lot of grovelling !!

This is the 2nd confirmed sighting of 110Mb/s up stream profile in about 1 week.

Yay! Where are you in the world? Any of your neighbours on Gig1 reading this could probably do worse than reboot their hubs if they're still showing 50 up.

Eventually all the modems will be disconnected so they take the new configuration but if it's what's provisioned you can get it now with a reboot to force new configuration.

Only for areas with the 5 3.0 + 1 3.1 upstream channel. Not sure about the 6 * 3.0 channel RFoG areas. Might need another channel down the bottom.

Selling 110 on 150 capacity a bit risky but might be fine if there aren't many people on the RFoG segment so won't all be excluded. If the capacity is free the taps open. If the taps fill after opening much easier to split RFoG nodes and fix the problems or offload people from RFoG to the overlay XGSPON once it's available.

Symmetrical speeds on that. Yeah baby.
