Re: Gig2 on HFC
BT are just now putting the boxes on the poles ready for service, a lot of this road will move to BT for sure when its available, its too expensive and not the fastest anymore so no reason to stay unless you are mid contract with a TV box. Out of contract too expensive better off with a sky bundle with fibre.988Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2gig + on Docsis 3.1
I always read your posts and think how insightful your posts always are, mainly because of the CAPITAL letters. Really drives a point home. Thank you for your insightful input. In response to everyone else, D4 is not going to happen we all know that right, but it is possible we get 2000/200 on what we have now. If they are not going to be complete overlaying for another 4 years then they are going to be very behind on other providers offerings and the costs no longer outweigh the fastest option. Its just going to be costly, for a speed that other providers can beat, with high ping.571Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2gig + on Docsis 3.1
I am sure there are lots of roads like mine throughout the UK that are just about to finally get FTTP from Openreach and I have literally no reason to stay with VM at all otherwise. I wont be waiting for 2028, Nexfibre are all over where I live but just infilling, even though they are putting cabs near me. I am definitely off come renewal in a couple of months.678Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gig2 on HFC
I think they might be loosing more than 3m users if OR can provide faster speeds than them now for BB only users. Additionally, with Sky now using Cityfibre as well as OR, looks like Sky will be the go-to provider unless VM can magically come up with 'UKs fastest broadband provider' again.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsGig2 on HFC
Hello, Are there any plans to let HFC users upgrade to Gig2? I think it is very unfair to us that we are unable to upgrade our packages to this given we are absolutely sure the network can take it. We as users have a right to use faster speeds and we are just being neglected at this point. I need the extra speed for my zoom meetings and online gaming. With Openreach announcing that from March areas will start to go live with gigabit upload using their existing GPON virgin are now very behind with no reason. Once upon a time VM marketing used to be able to claim UK fastest, now you are not. I think a lot of people will be moving soon now that OR have picked up pace on their rollout. nexfibre infills are great, but without an overbuild why would anyone stay considering the retention dance needed at renewal?1.9KViews0likes16CommentsRe: Gig2 on HFC
I did, however at the end of it they will put the price up 150% yet provide me with less options than other ISPs. Virgin used to be fast now it’s just second best, and that’s if you’re just competing with OR. I need the faster speeds in my house. It’s a pain getting by when others have such faster options.1.4KViews0likes0Comments
