Don't think your account page is advertising, though they've blatantly just a static number in there with no idea of the actual segment.

Their website absolutely is advertising though and they seem to have utterly failed with the small print. It actually damns them harder rather than covering them.

If you're the same Locky complaining about this on their Community they seem to have some work to do before they increase your upload speed. I suspect you're one of those in a small RFoG area attached to a larger HFC area. This is bad, and the most viable way to get your upload higher would be to convert you to XGSPON which in turn involves more work.

Seen the reply in a thread where their tech support asked someone to run a speedtest when the person posted a 55mbit config. (I dont think their staff are that dumb, that must be a clear delaying tactic.)

The reply was nice and to the point. smile

I made my own thread last night without realising the other 2 top threads were on the same subject.

Whilst I accept my area cant be done until they have the works required I wanted to make the point sticking a 104mbit upload in the account area (and it seems what you posted about also the advertising with no words of some areas not yet been covered) is wrong and should be corrected.

They may well not be bothering with investment in DoCSIS capacity with a view to getting you to XGSPON in that case.

Either way you cannot have 100 up on 4 upstream channels. Even on 6 would be risky and foolish if it's been installed for 3-4 years.

My install in this area is about 2 years old now... BT are close with installing FTTP so I will go down that route.

I don't get how Virgin are going to get everyone on 100mbs+ uploads from now until November..

For you 6 channels and fewer people sharing them, then XGSPON.

When I was speaking to the guys installing the cab (quite a large grey one) they said they 10GBS hubs. Don't know what truth is in that..
