Thread: Decided to take the plunge and get 50mb broadband.

Ever since having 50mb installed on Tuesday i appear to be having issues with random loss of TV service for a few seconds then comes back and also loss of sound, also the modem light on the normal box in the living room was flashing and the online light on the back bedroom was flashing also, just i did not have the bedroom TV on, just the living room one... I also could not get connected to the internet during that time, but as soon as i reset...

you have perfectly highlighted one of my biggest beefs with VM. I specifically asked CS last night if I was now stuck until Monday, and was told that the IT guys dealkng with it work 24/7 7 days a week. When some staff don't know the answer, they tell you what you want to hear rather than just asking someone /:

Had mine done yesterday. Took about an hour, but much of that was bloke on the phone to VM to get the 50 switched on. All happened totally flawlessly, and http://www.speedtest.net/ with London selected gives me just over 50Mbps. Bloke didn't install the router, left me to do it. No issues. Checked router firmware, and was already up to date. I'm running with Windows 7 32 bit. All no issues, works flawlessly, upgrade was easy, great.

Had ours done on the 2nd. Wasn't here for the install and it was a little slower than expected the first evening but after a tech visit to slightly decrease the downstream power it appears to be working flawlessly.

glad to see both of yours is working ok , im getting 50 meg in a couple of weeks , cant wait ....

Had mine done just over two months ago now. Works fine.

Hope it works alright for you Paul. Interesting choice of signature too, lyrics from Poker Face by Lady Gaga
