Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
If the site says it's available, then their API says it's available. I know the author of the site ordered it within hours of the API saying it was there
Edit: that is to say, the data shown on the site is not stored/created /maintained by me, there isn't even a database attached to it, it just queries one.network for roadworks (and filters to telecoms only which their own site does not) and public APIs and checkers for ISP results. If it says 1000mbps is available, then VM are saying on their API that 1000mbps is available. It's possible they don't want to sell it to you for other reasons? EG. Capacity, or shortage of sh4s, or something, or that the operator you spoke to was... Not very good.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
Thank you, if the API says it is available then I’m guessing it won’t be long before I can get it and for 100 shiny new pennies a month, I probably will.

Make sure you put your house number in the box too (or just 1). It starts at a high number and if it's invalid you'll get spinny wheels.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
Ours was due Friday. Then text it would take 2-3 more business days. Then text it was on it's way Saturday. Arrived, switched over, took a while to boot up, connected, switched to modem mode and all working. Took old box to Yodel pickup site (news agent) on way into church on Sunday.
The new box may look OK but don't like the huge bright light that casts shadows in darkened room. At least they didn't make it magenta for modem mode.
Also shame they dropped the little card insert for the VM wifi password. Still I kept my internal network stuff running so that all just picked up fine.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
All setup here. the light was set low to start with here and easy to change.
Not sure how long it took to activate as I had so work to do for 15-20 minutes and it was all done when I checked.
Changed all the settings and names etc to be same as my oldSH3 - so no devices here would need reconnecting.
