IMHO the people (like myself) who pay for 10Mb should get the upgrades first.

So much for releasing it by early 2007 like they said last year on BBC breakfast show, but its good to finally have some idea of when its going to happen.

Just says that they currently offer 10mb as the fastest but that will be increasing to 20mb. Its open to suggestion and interpretation but it doesn't mean it'll be free. It could mean they'll be adding a 20mb option to their product range, no?

Sounded like to me that they will be increasing the 10mb to 20mb and because it's involved in packages i can't see it increasing in cost.

What about the poor buggers that get about 2mbit when subscribed to the 10mbit service? I think Virgin better sort them out before they think about releasing 20mbit ! Seems like they dont give much of a toss about existing customers and are only interested in gaining new ones and being the first for 20mbit cable. Not amused! :(

Yep!

Mind you, I've not heard great things about Bulldog, they were one of the big 3 who have had the most customer disatisfaction!

abit more info for you all.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cable/a43305/virgin-confirms-20mbps-broadband.html

Virgin has confirmed that its top tier of broadband service will be upgraded to a 20Mbps downstream speed across its network by June.

Some limited trials of 20Mbps service have already been undertaken by the cable operator. Virgin's top tier "XL" broadband service currently offers a downstream speed of 10Mbps.

"As an end-to-end network owner, cable has inbuilt advantages in the quality of broadband service that we offer," the company said in its financial results statement today. "Customers can receive consistent speeds no matter where they live on our network and a top speed of 10Mb is available throughout our broadband addressable areas. We will be increasing this to 20Mb in June and we are also currently conducting a residential trial of a 50Mb broadband service."

Also does anyone know what the limit is on my Motorola SB5101E SURFboard modem?
