Re: New rollout timetable.

I think I'll take your advice Rough Beast and give Retentions a call in the morning, try and get 100meg and Spotify for similar to what I'm paying now. Will happily sign up to another 12 month contract if VM do that :)

Not necessarily - For instance I'm on Â£38/month for 50Mb without a phone line...

i'm on same UBR as you mate & just seen the change to being planned, whats the betting we wont see it untill next year i had a feeling it might change.

Just added 100meg and it's being installed this Thursday! Â£111.46 for VIP 100 but no activation fee and no installation charge. Also been told I should be able to keep my 50 meg setup without a Superhub! Also had spotify premium added for 6 months! Happy days.

You know it, forget this year we'll have to swallow, unless they get it done in the next 3 weeks, as in December most companies hit a change freeze to the environments.

I think you will find you are being discounted some other way.

My bill says I'm not...

It's down to VM not applying price changes to existing customers...

...and down to me for not contacting them to "renegotiate"

VM's change freeze seems to get later and later, certainly my area is due to upload speed increase in December and some others 100Mb so it's definitely not covering the whole month.

It is quite possible to be on Â£38 for 50Mbit

There was a Â£3 reduction a while back on 50Mbit that only applied to new customers and upgrades

TOT but I'd love to know why VM can't fix a standard price for a product and apply it across the board.

Re: New rollout timetable.

My area (Watford) says 'available now' on the PDF but the postcode check still says only 50Mbit is available :(
