my postcode simply refreshes the page so hasnt even been programmed to give a result for it.
Chrysalis - seems to be a problem with IE on the page, I tried another brower and got a small message below the postcode box saying that it is only available to those who have had the email or letter.

Surely that is the point. It won't work anywhere unless you had the fastickle email. Did you?

I expect it will be notified ahead of time but until such time I do not really care as 30Mb does it for me at present.

I'm not sure why it isn't working at all for you guys other than the VM website can be very temperamental.

My (unblest) postcode produces a page showing this using Firefox 8.0 on Win 7 64bit

http://www.kwikbreaks.webspace.virgi...com/tickle.jpg

I see the same using a 32bit XP machine with Firefox 8.0.1

It won't work for me with IE9 - it just refreshes and doesn't show the box about needing a tickle.

Whatever the reason unless you - or presumably somebody on the same postcode - had the tickle it will just give you the bum's rush anyway.

They'll probably feature another schedule which they'll fail to stick to and change dates as and when they need to or use the infamous 'Being Planned' for some areas for several months, then provide a date which they'll fail to stick to.

Can see this sparking a rush of calls "Why should I pay more for half the speed your giving others others".

If it were a free update for everyone over, I dunno, lets say three months - fair do's. Looking at the way its being rolled out, its looking more like years, not months.

So everyone everyone on 10MB, 20MB, 30MB & 50MB will get the speed upgrade ?
