Pretty much

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

So the next question is which areas can get 50Meg. Is there a list somewhere? And is Teeside on it?

I just know I`m gonna be gutted with the answer.

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

can check your postcode for 50Mb availability here...

I can confirm that I am in a 50Mb area and have already received the upgrade to BB M 10Mb (on my old modem not the new one I am still awaiting).

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Postcode check results

Great news! 50Mb broadband is available where you live

:dozey:

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Just checked and its good news:-) Now lets have some NTL areas updated.

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

I tried a reboot, and got this: [yes time is -1 hours]

Still config says 2mb lol and I am on 2mb :) Fun times waiting for the upgrade:D

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

How do you get that info and what is it telling you/me?

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

You have registered for the upgrade haven't you? ;)

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

lol :D

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Well I found out how to get the modem info. Got the same results as you. Don`t know what it means though:) Is it good? Is it bad?

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

If you register and your area can do the new speed you will get it within a couple of days...

If 50meg is the guide...then I can get the upgrade..registered 10 days ago..still waiting

If you register and your area can't yet do BB M 10Mbit the only way you will get 10Mibt now is by upgrading to BB L


:confused::confused:If an area can`t do do BB M 10Mbit...how can it suddenly do 10Mbit if someone upgrades to BB L, and pays the extra per mth :confused::confused:

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Bit of difference between one person paying up and being pushed from 2 to 10Mbit and about 65% of all subs in an area going from 2 to 10Mbit.

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

Agreed...a difference of £5/mth

Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade
 

So you'd have no problems with being pushed to 10Mbit early and getting no more and possibly less speed than you did on 2Mbit?

It'll be ready when it's ready. Until the needed upgrade work is done it's a very bad idea to release the uplift.

The difference isn't 5GBP/month, it's 2 I believe though don't quote me on that. Either way I'm pretty sure M on its' own was 18GBP/month and L is 20.

You guys are even more impatient than the 4-10 and 10-20 upgrades and they were over a much longer period of time.

Virgin's fault for blowing sunshine up your bums for months on end about the uplift though I guess.

To simplify.

1 person out of say 400 going 2 to 10Mbit = no worries.
Potentially 300 of 400 going 2 to 10Mbit = a potentially seriously big increase in demand on capacity which could grind the local network those 400 share to a halt. Customers who were previously on L and XL won't like only being able to get 2Mbit because M customers jumped up and down until they got upgraded early.

EDIT: I wonder if 'old' L customers are getting pushed to the DOCSIS 3 equipment already or if all tiers are getting load balanced across everything?
