UPC has the upload speeds of some customers doubled. For customers who have an upload of 10Mbit/s, that means that they now have 20Mbit/s, something UPC officially no subscription for consumers.
The higher speeds seem to be random at some of the subscribers are activated: notifications on GoT and Chelloo come from customers from various areas in the Netherlands, including Haarlem, the Achterhoek and Friesland. It usually involves people with a download speed of 200Mbit/s, an upload of 10Mbit/s and after a reset of the modem suddenly 20Mbit/s up on the counter.
UPC confirms the higher upload speeds compared to Tweakers and says that it is a test. Later on, the kabelaar with a more detailed explanation. Previously, UPC already subscriptions sold with upload speeds of 20Mbit/s, but UPC reduced that in september last year to 10Mbit/s. Now there is no subscription for consumers in the kabelaar with an upload speed higher than 10Mbit/s. Earlier this year, said providers that customers do not need would have higher upload speeds.
The test is independent of the change of subscriptions that UPC Monday confirmed. This adds the provider video service MyPrime to existing subscriptions, increases in many cases the download speed and asks often 0.50 or 1.50 euro extra per month for.
Update, 11:45: UPC says that it is the upload speed of approximately one thousand customers has increased to test whether customers need to have. The test runs until August. “Then we are going to look or people that upload speed is a lot of use and, if necessary, we adapt our plans to it,” said a spokeswoman.
