However I'm not going to discuss it further as it's not really relevent to this thread and the upload increases have their own thread where I'm pretty sure you've already made your point several times http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12...anagement.html

I just bring it whenever someone misleads that all.

If an area doesnt have the capacity then it isnt technically capable. Nothing complex about that.

What were you doing talking about 10:1 in this thread if its off topic?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed

July onwards for me, will this require a changed Router? :confused:

Honestly? Virgin haven't yet completed the work to get everyone onto the current 10:1, so I can't see a further upstream programme being started before that, the 100Mbit rollout and this increase all going through

Perhaps answering another poster's question?

You may need a new modem if you're on 20meg at the moment and don't have a superhub. You'll get one free of charge in this case.

You won't need a new router, either you can use your old router or if you happen to get a superhub, you can use that but you'll have a choice.

I'm not sure if you're genuinely asking about routers, or if you've got modems and routers mixed up so I apologise if I sound a bit patronising.
