Sorry if this one has been answered and I have looked at the upgrade schedule and still don't understand. I live in PETERBOROUGH and have the 4mb package ...... should I now be able to get 10mb ?

I've unplugged and rebooted several times and still 4mb.

Is my STB okay for 10mb ? It is a SAMSUNG SMT-2110C.

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

I've just checked on the virgin media site and it says that your STB won't be able to deliver the speed. You'll have to ring them up and tell them. They'll replace it for you, with a new cable modem free of charge.

You will get 6Mb max through a Samsung STB, you need to call Tech Support on 151 to sort out getting a Stand Alone Cable Modem.

Gosport is to be upgraded to 10mb in July (same time as Fareham & Cosham).

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

18 areas still TBC. Quite a lot of work to get it finished by 'Summer'. :p:

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

Assuming six areas a month are upgraded, unless Virgin speed up, then that leaves three more months after July until everyone's upgraded. So fits in with previous, end of September, estimate.

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

The finish date is for the end of the 3rd quarter of the year so supposedly finished by October.

Here in Poole with my splendid new modem, rebooted and router re-educated, I'm getting about 9Mbps on average, at peak time too!
Excellent!

That's really pushing the definition of Summer...

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

That is what we were told in Tech Support and I have posted that at various times also.

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

Yep Im getting the full 10 most of the time here in BH14, it's nice :D

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

Yep Full 10meg
I put my download on at 8:20pm as normal and was traffic shaped by 8:43 bugger at least 2.5Mb/s :) is better than that 1Mb/s. But still capped at 800MB, I now set me download schedular to 8:40pm start time. :) hope not to get capped tomorrow. will see.
