You're right :).

Maidenhead appears overloaded regularly.

Fair comment. Thanks.

Yeah, not sure it's ever gone this long without being updated - you'd think VM would be keen to let us know how well progress is being made.

Anyway, the rollout is due to be all done & dusted sometime this month, and I have no reason to doubt this will be the case. I mean, have they ever let us down?

Still waiting here in south yorkshire.

Service seems to be back up to scratch too, excellent pings / speeds now.. as it was before.

I really hope this is worth the wait.

Has anyone been upgraded since the last update on VM's website?

Have they just stopped upgrading us, and hope we forget about the whole thing?

Well... I'm another 1 waiting for the upgrade (Jarrow), like AppleSaurce asked previously has anybody been upgraded since the 12th of August or have we been left to rot???? :(

(I'm not happy about having to pay £25 a month when others are getting 10meg, I don't believe this is a free upgrade either, companies never do owt for nowt.:rolleyes:)

Love this forum by the way been a lurker for years LOL :)

Hi Simon. A [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] to the Forum. Nice to see unregistered lurkers coming in from the dark. :D

I am on the Baguley server and I was up-rated a couple of days after the 12th, on the 14th August. I think the some people on my server were up-rated even later than that.

Hang in there the upgrade will happen.

I seem to remember the last time there was a 'free upgrade' we (meaning customers down here in Devon) were at the end of the list, getting our upgrade well after everyone else in the country.

I suspect a lot of us down here at the a**e end of the country have got so tired of seeing TBC under South West/Newton Abbott this time that we'll just do what I did today and take advantage of any special offers and upgrade everything to XL anyway (Off-topic, man, isn't there a load of crap on all those TV channels nowadays :D)

/* And since my poor old modem is getting a bit tired, I did get a better modem and wireless router to sweeten the deal too, although the old one seems to coping fine with 20 MB */

Still waiting for my New Modem. 3rd time to ring VM. Last Modem lost in post (UPS not delivered it).

VM Tech said Swansea will be last to be upgraded (his opinion) as we have 10yr old cable & thats newer than others (he said)
