    How do you work the latter point out?

    They can't even give you 20mb, you get 16 or whatever, so what are you going to get on 50? 40? it's a lot better yeah, but is this just in London like the 20mb was for a while, and why don't 2MB users get upgraded?

    what the hell are you going on about?

    iv been on 20MB ever since it came out and get 20mb as i pay for.

    the upgrade is for everyone in the UK

    2mb are not being upgraded because VM think they dont use the internet much therefore no need to upgrade them.

    I mean, you don't get, or not everyone, should i said, the full 20mb, and wonder how much you will get on 50mb.

    And i was asked how having 2 modems will give you 100mb?

    Hmmm well i get full speed anyway.

    well i would get 100mb becasue we pay for 20MB at £10 a month anyway and when 50mb comes out it will be on 50mb, but also because i have another modem which is chipped i will also get 50MB from that router aswell, so 50 + 50 is 100MB. I use a cable splitter so the white cable goes into the 2 modems and then you just bridge the 2 connections together to get 100MB

    :S


    VM will only be putting 50mb down the line (Plus other services)
    You cant split the white cable into 2 modems cuse you will be splitting the 50 in 25-25. You need to put one under load and do a test on the other, Then see what that says.

    lol nope, trust me, because the chipped modem logs into VM server as a diffrent mac address and not my own, you see VM do it all by mac address and only 1 mac address can be logged in per server and the chipped modem has a diffrent mac address to the normal one so your logged in twice thefore you get both speed. Trust me, it works, my hate has 40MB !!! and 1.4MB Upload !

    Like for example if you bought a modem from ebay as your other modem has broken and you took the normal one out and plugged the one you just bought in it would not work, as its not the same mac address as what the registered modem is on your VM account. but which chipped modems it doesnt matter, they will still work and VM can not do anything about it.

    weird, i get full 20mb all the time what ever time it is. Maybe its your modem as some modems dont support 20MB.

    i have the Motorala SurfBoard SB5100i which can go of upto 68MB.

    I have the newest virgin media modem, a small black one. I live near london so that has to account for it. My downloads go past 1mb so my modem is okay, maybe its just the speed checker sites?
