Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
So let me get this right!!!
I'm XXL100 (soon to be 120)
Between 10am-3pm i can download (20000MB) just shy of 20GB (20480MB)
Between 4pm-9pm i can download (10000MB) just shy of 10GB (10240MB)
Luckily this is a family forum so i cant express how i really feel!
Thankfully BT infinity is in my area, and the new box is only 30meters from my house!

You can download more than that, but at up to 50Mbit rather than up to 100Mbit

So that's 30GB a day or close to 1TB a month in what most ISPs would class as peak times before there is any restriction. If you do exceed that then the restriction is to reduce your speed to 50Mbps which is still faster than most other ISPs can deliver.
To my mind it's a very generous allowance. Far too generous IMO as if more than a tiny proportion of the customers in an area use that amount on a regular basis it will way exceed the local capacity.

I would prefer a monthly limit, why should I be penalised for 5hrs if i download a couple HD rips. When i was on 20mb it was not the reduction in speed but the affect it had on ping for online gaming!
(yeah i'm not going to lie about why i have 100mb, 90% of 100mb will be doing the same. no point saying its just for downloading linux distro's from newsgroups

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Not sure why for 100Mb it states the upgraded upload speed as 10Mb? Surely it would be 12Mb when it moves to 120Mb eventually?
Also, why is the standard upload speed for the independant 100Mb tier N/A? when the standards 10Mb?
Confused.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
don't think upload won't be 12Mb now. Staying at 10Mb.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
It's already been metioned about the table over on the Community Forum and I've fed it back.
It was done like that because the 'full' 100Mbit tier has only has one upstream speed, where the others have had/got two depending on how you've got it as part of the upgrade.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Virgin Media should get a new package eg: 80/20 to match BT FTTC (wishful thinking)

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
When the speed gets doubled, what's the difference between XL and ML20?
