So, VM said they would rollout gig1 to their whole network by the end of 2021, a 2 year timetable, and with 3.5 months to go have a little under 50% of it done.... do we think they will make the date?

Well it's a bit better than that

I noticed that 1gig is now available in Hartlepool. I thought it was reserved for the large towns and cities. VM tell me I need to re-contract to upgrade my UO package to 1gig.

The list tends to always list major area it's gone live in, but the availability is always the surrounding areas connected to the headend there.

Due to cable's history as I've said before, you're not always connected to the major area you think you are.

Getting our upgrade Friday. Self install SH4, will probably set to modem mode to keep things easy.

I was 3 months away from having to re-contract so just did it the other day to get the 1 gig.

I says Nottingham is now live so hopefully Lincoln will follow very soon.

My brother and I both live in Nottingham, my post code says 1Gig available, his says 500Mb only, why would this be? He lives around 2 miles away.

Give it a couple of days, they still might be working their way through the postcode list making it available in each area. I think Nottingham has literally been turned on in the last couple of days because I know Paul (forum admin) checked last week following some area upgrades and it wasn't available.

Nottingham is actually pretty fragmented in the VM network. It's split across Nottingham, Clifton, Basford, Mapperley and Stapleford hubsites.

I notice Cambridge is now enabled, does that have any relevance to Ipswich? Any areas I should look out for as bellwethers?
