Cable Forum - Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February

just noticed New York ubr completed, rebooted modem now getting just under 7meg. Just wondering if my modem can handle 10meg?

It's a Motorola sb4200.The website says it is.

SB4200 can handle 10Mbit no problem.

There's been another update today (10th Sept), leaving only Haringey, Bradford & Sheffield and Swansea areas to be 'confirmed'.

The end of Summer is reckoned to be at the September equinox, and this year that falls on 22nd September at precisely 15:44. Did you hear that Virgin Media? You've got 1 week and 5 days to get Bradford (and the rest) upgraded!

Still no update since 12 August ............ and what does TBC actually mean (sometime in the future)?

Even BT are able to give RFS (estimated ready for service) dates for exchange upgrades, come on VM - when will the remaining areas be upgraded ??

It's true that they do, but they have the strange habit of being put back regularly.

Unfortunately, due to a rip in the space time continuum caused today when they switched on that Hadron Collider thingy, all TBC upgrades have been put back until Billie Piper rejoins Dr Who. Quite right too imho :D.

Sorry all.

Just re-boot the modem and hey presto all will be well. You may find that for a while the speed may drop off the max on occasions.

Thanks for the help everyone it seems to be working fine (not that i've noticed much difference when uploading). To the person who asked im up in Gateshead so it looks like this area has been done.

Quite happy with the free upgrade actually :)

I thought I'd received the upgrade last night when my modem powered down and restarted itself.. sadly not though.. still waiting in WA9 - can't be long now surely.

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:13.
