Why dont you take it up with your superiors and tell them its making customers angry?

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

Well played to whomever typo'd the page there.

50Mb is 25 quid a month if taken with a phone line, 35 without, just as 100Mb is 35 with and 45 without, 30Mb 18.50 with, 28.50 without.

Understand the confusion but that's basically it, VM directly or via an outsourced web team messing around with the web pages unnecessarily and not proof reading. Still it's nothing major, just a price that's wrong :)

Different chain of command .. I'd have to go over to another part of the business and tell them I don't think they are doing their job correctly .. can't see that going down well :D

They have it in place because they believe it provides a better customer experience.. at the end of the day it actually costs VM money, so they don't do it for fun.

Any idea if the 20>30 with Superhub requires a bloke?

I'd rather buy the Superhub for my 20 then ring to upgrade than have someone trawl down here for the 3 minutes it will take.

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

30's are self install mate no tech unless you need him to fix something.

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

I'm not sure that's correct .. I think moving to 30/50/100 requires a tech from the lower speeds .. well I know it doesn't, but I think that's how they process it .. anyone about who works in the centres?

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

I think they send a tech out anyway because they like to waste time and money. They insisted a tech came out when i upgraded from 50 to 100 and i didnt need one. I think they are just going to end up peeing everyone off with ridiculous waiting times if they insist on booking engineers up needlessly

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

fair enough, also I posted that before reading your other reply sorry.

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

20meg to 30meg was a self install for me.

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

Me, too, back when it first came out....

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

it was also for me and I ordered it the first day was possible. There is obviously some sort of flag that sets off the process for tech install but we dont know what that is.

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

Well they will never know otherwise if they don't get any feedback.

Re: just rang VM to upgrade to 100mb
 

30Mb in the majority of cases is Self Install and costs £30, in relatively few cases it may require a manned install but apart from the £30 to upgrade that is free of charge.
