But it seems whatever Virgin do sometimes they are damned if they do or damned if they don't but remember nearly all of us will be getting a huge speed increase and for that we must applaud Virgin.

:shocked: you're right. i assume mine was done earlier today as i have a little red blip on my TBB chart - i guess the router was rebooting at this time.

I got that email claiming I am on 100Mb too, when I am on 30Mb. logging into My VM it says I have 10 or 20Mb broadband when again, I have 30! What fools! Good news is, it says March/April for my upgrade to 60Mb so that's not too much of a wait. :D

Wait a mo, I'm confused. So 50meg is going up to 100meg, and 100meg is going up to 120meg and dropping in price to be the same price as 50meg is now (which will be 100meg by then).

So, once the 120meg tier is available why wouldn't all the old 50meg customers, who will be on 100meg by then, switch to 120meg as it will cost the same price as their 100meg is costing?

I just got the email telling me "You're already getting the UK's fastest widely available broadband, and starting this summer we'll be starting the roll-out to boost your speeds from up to 100Mb to up to 120Mb."

I'm on 30mb.

:dunce:

I have a feeling that for the time being this is a bonus for those already on the top tier (100mb). Perhaps once the upgrades are complete everyone will move up to 120 who is on (the then) 100mb, therefore having 20mb, 60mb and 120mb as the three tier choices.

This is pure speculation on my part though. Maybe Ben has some answers :angel:

As I'm sure you know it's being delayed while the line card replacement programme to support upstream bonding is being done, this is a project independent of the capacity upgrades needed for all tier uplift but the 100Mb upgrade is likewise dependent on capacity upgrades.

Not to mention that people on every other tier would have every right to be a bit miffed at 100Mb customers getting their uplift before them.
They have to swap kit right to move from 4 DS to 5 DS channels?

The checker actually says in progress for me which seems crazy as I still only have 4 DS. Its as if they think they have upgraded the DS but forgot.

5Mb - S (Loyalty)
10Mb - M
20Mb - M (Loyalty)
30Mb - L
50Mb - XL
60Mb - L (Loyalty)
100Mb - XXL
120Mb - XXL (Loyalty)

= confusing.

It's confusing because what you've posted is completely wrong and makes no sense. These aren't loyalty tiers, these are the new tiers going forward. Once everyone has moved over, there won't be a 10, there won't be a 30meg and there won't be a 50meg.

You've also got the sizes wrong, 100meg (soon to be 120) is XXXL, 50 (to be 100) is XXL and XL is 30 (or 20 if you haven't paid the £30). L and M are both 10 and will be switched to 20.

Not bad for off net I guess ;)

Would also point out this from the FAQ over on the Community Forum:

Quote:
Please note that the post code checker does not apply to 100Mb customers whose boost will be happening from the summer of 2012. We will be writing to you with more information as to when their speed boost will be happening shortly.
which reads to me as if the 100Mbit > 120Mbit upgrade is on a different schedule

Yep someone has screwed up, I got the same email and I am on 30mb. They always find it hard sending correct emails, like when everyone got the Tivo email addressed to Dave.

Did they mention what the discount would be?

Just upgraded to 100mb from 50mb and was wondering if I'd still be in line for the discount.

Cheers
