Postcode checker now thinks I'm not in a cabled area. Whoops!

me too. Hopefully they have removed the database and are updating it with more accurate dates for the start of the rollout in the new year. When they are as vague as July-Dec 2014 they had might as well not bother saying anything.

The general rollout process is the same this time around as last time, so the dates will get more accurate as the rollouts progress - with the same caveat that dates may change for technical reasons.

With several million customers to upgrade, no matter what VM put there someone to complain about it.

do you know why it isn't working atm? It is a bit weird that it is saying that people who come from completely different parts of the country aren't in cabled areas (not like it is one area/postcode group they have made a boo boo with). On the upside I have always been middle of the pack for upgrades so I should expect mine around August time.

Just looked at my VM and noticed the dates have changed. Spot the mistake:

MyVM:

Right now you have our up to 120Mb broadband. That's really fast, but between August and January 2014 you'll be able to supercharge your speed to up to 152Mb broadband at no extra monthly cost.

We’re upgrading the network in your area and your speed boost will be ready between August 2014 and January 2015. You don’t need to do a thing and we’ll contact you as soon as it’s ready.
Sign in to My Virgin Media to find out what new speed you can look forward to.
Looks like the 2014 is hardcoded into MyVM's message, whoops! Someone obviously had far too much faith in VM keeping to some sort of schedule :)

I get the same:

"We’re upgrading the network in your area and your speed boost will be ready between August 2014 and January 2015. You don’t need to do a thing and we’ll contact you as soon as it’s ready.

I assume we are all getting the same message, unless they can use our IP to give us the correct message. Either way this isn't the February 2014 I was hoping for.

Same here, be lucky if we get this by 2015

it is a shame they havent made a list available like they have done previously because I am curious which areas they are actually planning to do in February

I now get between August and Jan 2014. I assume like the 120 no one actually knows when it will be.

I doubt it. Virgin's upgrades are much like BT's FTTC upgrades in that the estimates given usually slip back a few times before it's actually done.
