Re: Virgin Media O2 to launch Volt bundles
 

So got my Volt benefits applied and assumed that my speed would not increase as I am on 600 and Gig1 is not available in my area. However interestingly just got an email saying my new hub is on the way due to my speed upgrade…

Separately last week I had a text saying there is planned maintenance in my area on Thursday so maybe it is being enabled then?

We will see! Nice surprise if I’m getting 1 gig

So an update. A few hours after posting my data did increase, but didn’t hear anything regarding the broadband speed increase. I looked on Twitter and saw a number of people being told to wait 14 days for the broadband increase (the text from O2 suggested they were both enabled), so I have just waited and today I had a text saying my new Virgin Kit was on the way. That took me by surprise!

Looks like they won’t provision my upgrade to 350Mbps on my original Hub 2! Could it be a Hub 5 they are sending?! *Checks email* ah no… a Hub 3 Quick Start Kit… :erm:

Yeah sadly my upgrade to Gig1 is a Hub 4 :)

Also appears that so far it is only picking up the 600 mbps config file. Not sure if this is expected initially or it is due to Gig1 in fact not being in our area?

Rebooted and now on Gig1… still shows as unavailable in our area which is interesting. Wonder if that’s an error or they are holding it back currently
