I thought I saw it say March earlier, but when I sent the link on to a friend it said TBC, so I assumed I was going slightly crazy... odd.

At least the list is showing several dates now. Dissapointed Liverpool still is not been given a date as of yet!!!.

Mind you the current 4mb is more than enough right now for my needs. Call me suspicious but I wander if the upgrade to 10mb is as much down to VM being able to better manage heavy downloaders and reduce there speeds\manage\cap there service even more to improve things for those on lower speeds as much as a marketing excercise?.

What I mean the management service as it is now is easily open to bypass due to the peak hours or, what 4 to 9 is it?. Outside these hours nothing as such I gather. With the 10mb upgrade I'll bet they open the peak hours for 10mb users to something like 10am to 10pm. Then reduce your speed to 1mb!. In effect those who are heavy downloaders will mainly have a 1mb connection instead of 10mb connection from the 4mb connection they are currently on.

They might not have said that yet but I'll bet they are thinking it or something similar. And we all think the upgrade is good for us?.

I wander if they will have an option of staying on 4mb?.

March for Mansfield :tu:

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Still 4Mb at NG7 (Hyson Green) :(

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

yes same NG4, although Mapperley and sherwood are apparently now 10mb

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Yay:p:

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

It's good to know my connection is being upgraded free of charge, It would just be great to be able to actually use my 4mb fully even for browsing webpages. The lasttime Virgin upgraded my line it either meant my TV wouldn't work or the Internet Wouldn't - I couldn't use both together :(

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

4mb just outside Coventry which is classed as "complete"

Do I believe VM? Hmmmm NO!

Why didn't they just do it and THEN tell us?

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

It's March now still no upgrade here in Daybrook:mad::mad:
